I have investigated this issue a bit more... As I mentioned before I
used Git 1.5.4 with libcurl3-gnutls on Debian Etch and did not have
that problem, but when I installed exactly the same package on Debian
unstable it exhibits the above problem. Debian Etch has curl v7.15.5,
while Debian testing uses curl v7.17.1 and Debian unstable uses curl
7.18.0 (both libcurl3 and libcurl4 are built from the same sources).
So the version of libcurl seems to be relevant here. OTOH, git 1.5.3.8
works with both versions of libcurl-gnutls, while git 1.5.4 does not
work with a new one. So, it is also specific to how git uses libcurl.
I will look into it more during the weekend.
