>Description:
	When using git-fetch (or via git-pull), the program git-fetch crashes
with a Bus Error. I tracked it down to the following GDB trace:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x0000000800e65103 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.7
#1  0x0000000800e65727 in free () from /lib/libc.so.7
#2  0x00000000004adff3 in transport_unlock_pack (transport=0x70f080)
    at transport.c:811
#3  0x00000000004241ac in unlock_pack () at builtin-fetch.c:56
#4  0x0000000800eb65a9 in __cxa_finalize () from /lib/libc.so.7
#5  0x0000000800e69567 in exit () from /lib/libc.so.7
#6  0x0000000000404bf4 in handle_internal_command (argc=2,
argv=0x7fffffffe5b8)
    at git.c:379
#7  0x0000000000404cb9 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe5b8) at git.c:414

It seems that transport_unlock_pack is trying to re-free the argument being
passed to free().

>How-To-Repeat:
   1) Install the latest devel/git.
   2) Try using git-fetch or git-pull to update a git.
>Fix:
   The fix has already hit the git tree (but was not in 1.5.5.1):
