I got this to work and had a good experience but got this from an arm user:

Cloning into 'NetBSD-src-git'...

remote: Compressing objects: 100% (636083/636083), done.

Core was generated by `git'. Program terminated with signal SIGBUS, Bus error. #0 0x00045f88 in cmd_index_pack () (gdb) bt #0 0x00045f88 in cmd_index_pack () #1 0x00014058 in handle_builtin () #2 0x00129358 in main ()

I will wait for the "official" patch and ask if my friend can compile with -g.
