Odd/garbled remote output from "git clone" and "git fetch" commands

Question

I've been running into some odd server output (line 5 of the block quote, below) when cloning and fetching from a remote Git repository. I'm wondering if anyone has a thought as to what could be causing it.

D:\dev>git clone https://<user>@<repo>
Cloning into '<repo>'...

The server version of Git is 1.8.0.msysgit.0 and the local version of Git is 1.7.11.msysgit.1. My best guess is this is a potential artifact of the version difference, but numerous other developers on my team use the same version and have not reported such output.

Answer 1

Upgrading my local version of Git to 1.8.1.msysgit.1 resolved the issue. Unfortunately, I was never able to find the underlying problem.
