Have researched this a bit, and I've found that all git versions back to
when git-bundle was introduced (around v1.5.4) produces the same invalid
line. The culprit is commit 3e8148feadabd0d0b1869fcc4d218a6475a5b0bc in
perl.git, branch 'maint-5.005'. The log message of that commit contains
email headers, maybe that's the reason git bundle gets confused?
