Have you tried Git 1.5.4 with libcurl3-gnutls? It seems the package from
Debian unstable is built with it. I have backported Git 1.5.4 to Etch with
libcurl3-gnutls and I have not noticed any problems with https fetch. So,
I wonder if the problem happens with libcurl4-gnutls only regardless of
your version of Git.
