Because http server of digilander.libero.it instead of responding with 404 code (page not found) sends a not standard html page as answer. To see the page just point your browser to: http://digilander.libero.it /mcostalba/scm/qgit.git/objects/8d/ea03519e75f47d

Git does not understand object is missing and thinks what site sends _is_ the requested object and then founds that is (of course) corrupted.
