Ah, yes it is! I just now tracked down the issue myself, and landed at
the same conclution. The reason? Simple, I was pushing git from a
directory with a recent git-binary, when my *installed* git was v1.6.4
;)

Running "make install" before pushing fixed the issue.

Thanks for wasting time on my PEBCAK :)
