Your initial backtrace showed recursion in unpack_entry() which was rather odd in the first place. Your latest backtrace shows a loop in make_object() which has nothing to do what so ever with unpack_entry(). So the backtrace might not be really useful. I suspect you'll have to bisect git to find the issue, given that some old version can be found to be good. For example, does it work with v1.5.2.5?
