Invalid channel 117 - Eclipse / EGit

Question

I'm using the latest versions of Eclipse (4.2.1) and EGit (2.3.1) to push code to git repositories that are hosted at Assembla. Lately I start getting those messages: "Invalid channel 117". The push seems to go trough, so it doesn't really hurt, but it's annoying because I cannot see the result of the push. Any ideas? Thanks!

Error Log:

I work for Assembla, this was a problem in the way we were handling sideband communication channels - it should be fixed. Oddly only jgit/egit complained about this and not the c version of git.

Please take a look again.
