By the way, Debian folks are very aware of the issue and already has a backported material to cut a 1.4.4.5, but I do not know what the release schedule for their update is. Is it an option for you to update to a more modern version from say backports.org? Everybody using git for anything serious should be using 1.5.3 or newer these days.
