I temporarily run chsh on myself to use tcsh as my login shell, and sure enough I am getting the error. fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: 75 70 64 61 It reads "u p d a"; most likely the command name we are running, which is "update". I think it is spitting out an error message or something silly like that saying "update hook is not executable". Let me dig a bit further and report later. This is with my previous patch; you do not have to update to 1.5.0-rc1 -- it would not fix anything in this area. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
