Nope, no valgrind involved here, it's not even installed on those two
servers. The two server setups differ quite much, one of them I use for
all kind of things, the other is a dedicated web server with not much
else except Apache and some essential stuff I can't live without
installed.

Now that's what I call commitment. :)

I build new gits pretty much every time Junio pushes new stuff to
kernel.org, and I'm using this script which takes care of everything:

  https://github.com/sunny256/utils/blob/master/build-git

I have a README at

  https://github.com/sunny256/utils/blob/master/README.build-git.md

where I have listed all packages I install from apt-get before I build
the thing. The script I used to test with git bisect is at

  https://github.com/sunny256/utils/blob/testfail.t5150-fail-g6f92e5f/testfail

, it simulates what the "build-git" script does.

The test works if I run a plain "make" using the standard Makefile
without ./configure .

Hm, interesting. When I don't use --prefix as mentioned above, just a

  $ make configure
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ cd t
  $ ./t5150-request-pull.sh

The test works. Seems as there's something fishy about the use of
--prefix in this specific commit (v2.0.1-472-g6f92e5f).

I'll dig more into this thing now to see what's going on.
