Perhaps you did do > it and unintentionally left it out from your procedure listed here? Oh, yes, sorry. I did run it but unintentionally left it out. At least I had no problem with clone, it did clone an "empty repository" without a problem. Even during bisecting, I never had a problem with pulling from the server, only with pushing to it. > > 4.

Yes, most of the times git tries to push three objects, and fails with all three. As I wrote, during bisecting I was able to commit several times. The reported message was the last one failing. Unfortunately git only needed to push one object that time. I didn't think it was important if it were three or just one object?!
