  $ git clone git:/repo/git/acl acl.test
  Initialized empty Git repository in /c/tmp/acl.test/.git/
  remote: Counting objects: 9205, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3300/3300), done.
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  fatal: early EOFs:  62% (5708/9205)
  fatal: index-pack failed

I should mention that the percentage at which it fails is random.  Out
of 40 times I've run the command above, it worked exactly 1 time.
Usually, however, the failures are anwhere from 20% to 63% on the
"early EOFs" line.

Also, other people seem to be having the issue, too:
