Do you have git-http-push somewhere? What does "git http-push" say?

Probably you have a version of Git compiled with a too old libcurl
(IIRC, it could have "worked", but a bug in the old libcurl could
cause repository corruption, and therefore, git refuses to build
http-push with such version of libcurl).
