Your tar command seems to be seriously broken: it is producing output
that it cannot consume.
What is the output of “gtar --version”? Does this problem still occur if
you try again? If you run the command above by hand, does it produce
the same result?
I checked https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for known problems but did not
find anything similar. If this problem proves reproducible, I would
suggest reporting it with them.
In the mean time, you can use git without installing it by adding
/home/e477610/exptool/share/git-core/bin-wrappers to your $PATH. :)
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
