With my debugging patch applied to peek-remote:

        $ git-peek-remote git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git
        error: protocol error: bad line length character
        <<<<<
        env: 
        >>>>>
        fatal: protocol error: bad line length character

So somebody says "env:" immediately followed by an EOF to the
stdout when upload-pack is invoked via git-daemon.

The first thing that happens in the fetch/clone/peek-remote
protocol is reading from the server side, so unfortunately there
is no way to debug any further without having an access to their
server.
