Jun 03 19:09:42 <ShadeHawk>     Hmmm... for a while I had transient (i.e. fixed now) error
                                when fetching from git.kernel.org repositories
Jun 03 19:09:50 <ShadeHawk>     $ git fetch origin
Jun 03 19:09:59 <ShadeHawk>     fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: git:
Jun 03 19:10:24 <ShadeHawk>     but when I wanted to debug it (with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=2),
                                it was already fixed ;-P

$ git version git version 1.7.5

It might be not related with issue that Peter encountered, though.
