Bug description:
  Hello,

  I am trying to clone a repository and I am getting the following
  output:

  $ git clone -q git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  fatal: early EOF
  fatal: index-pack failed

  The "fatal:" lines usually appear a few minutes after running the clone. Of 
  course, the clone does not finish successfully. Interestingly, when I drop the 
  '-q' option from the git clone commandline, the clone finishes correctly.

  My git version is:

  $ git --version
  git version 1.8.4.rc3

  This issue was reported to git AT vger kernel org ML with the following result:
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217736.html

  Server-side patch must be applied as described here:
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217744.html

  Patches that fix the issue:
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217019.html
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217020.html

  Can you please fix your git server at kernel.ubuntu.com ?

  Thank you!

  Best regards,
  Marek Vasut
