Curious.  That is typically given for ENOENT but pread(2) would not
give that error according to

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pread.html

You didn't say what platform you are seeing the issue (the receiving
end of the "push"), but are you using Git on a pread-deficient
platform with emulation perhaps?
