Hmm. git-1.5.3.7 has been out for quite some time and no one else has reported this. I for one had no problems with 1.5.3.7 and any type of cloning.

Can you please clarify what "the machine" and "the repositories" are? Your message is a bit vague here.

How long ago were these repos created? I'm sure at some point breaking changes were made to the format... if they are from like 1.2 or something, I could see this being the case.

Could you check your pacman log to see what version you upgraded from?

from logs:
upgraded git (1.5.3.4-1 -> 1.5.3.7-1)

the machine is the computer with archlinux installed
and the public repositories are directories under public_html created by cloning a git local repositories as described here:

Do you still have a .git/ directory inside the repositories? Could you possibly give us the URL to your repositories so that we can attempt?
