Today I'd noticed a failure in some custom automation that seems to came as a side effect after of a git client update. The issue issue I'd spotted is the following: $ git clone git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/bionic linux/bionic Cloning into 'linux/bionic'... fatal: remote error: Parameters must have values Reverting to git 2.17.1 didn't show the issue. I'd asked at #git in freenode and @rafasc was able to reproduce and bisect, pointing to https://github.com/git/git/commit/684ceae32dae726c6a5c693b257b156926aba8b7 For the time being I'd added `-c protocol.version=0` as a temporary workaround. Is this a regression? Thanks for looking into this. Josep Torra
