[PATCH] git pull cannot find remote refs.
When getting new data from an archive with 'git pull' I sometimes got the
message
fatal: unexpected EOF
Failed to find remote refs
Already up-to-date.
Tracking it down, I found a gap between how git-ls-remote prints out the tags
and git-fetch scans them with sed. Looking at the code of git-ls-remote the
there is an tab character between the sha1 and the refname, while there is a
space and a tab character in the regular expression for th sed command.
As a result the while where all is piped in cannot read the two values.

I'm not sure if the solution is the best, because info sed say '\t' is not portable,
so perhaps it will be better to correct it another way?
Comments?
