This change came after 1.5.3.6 and I think its what you are
tripping over:
commit 481f0ee60eef2c34b891e5d04b7e6e5a955eedf4
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun Nov 11 23:35:23 2007 +0000
Fix rev-list when showing objects involving submodules
rev-list aborting because it cannot mark a submodule commit
as uninteresting should cause pack-objects to abort too since
the list of objects wasn't completely produced.
That fix is in 1.5.3.7 or later.
