Hmm sees to work for me.
oss is running a newer version of git 1.6.0.2,  I wonder if there some 
version incomparability happening?
I'm using 1.5.6.4 on my remote client and it did a clone just fine.
Ahh but indeed a fetch failed ...
But it also fails with using v1.5.6.5 of git-daemon ...

So I don't know what is going on.

I'll keep digging into it.

Ohh and BTW we finally got the firewall set up to allow native git traffic
so you can drop port 8090 from the url.
