Thanks for the bug report.  Indeed the git-core package is broken on
lenny/i386 since the last point release on Saturday.  Sadly nobody caught
that bug when the package was in proposed-updates.  It's only i386, that's
affected, because of oddities on the uploader's build machine.  The autobuilt
ones look fine.

I scheduled a binNMU.  A quick fix is to upgrade to the version in
proposed-updates when it's available there latest tomorrow evening.

Sorry
