I really doubt it is a compatibility problem.  The provided error 
message may only result from the fact that patch_delta() has returned 
NULL.

And since patch-delta is really simple, it doesn't have many reasons for 
returning NULL: either the object store on either the remote or local 
side is corrupted in which case a git-fsck-objects --full should catch 
that, or the system ran out of memory.
