I found the previous occurrences of the same problem:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqjzm3qumx.fsf@gitster.g/
  https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqh6hkxox6.fsf@gitster.g/

The last message in the thread

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAMbn=B7J4ODf9ybJQpL1bZZ7qdWSDGaLEyTmVv+ZBiSeC9T+yw@mail.gmail.com/

says that the original user of GGG found what was wrong in the way the user was using GGG to send and fixed it, but unfortunately we didn't hear exactly *what* the breakage was and *how* it was fixed.

Aryan, do you remember what the problem was and more importantly what the fix was?

Thanks.
