Ah, I was able to reproduce with that version. It looks like 1.5.0.6
doesn't properly fetch packed refs over http. IIRC, it _should_ work
with that version (RelNotes-1.5.0 mentions packed refs), but there may
be a bug.

That version is over a year old now, and any bug has long since been
fixed; can you upgrade to a more modern git?
