Hi There,
Sorry if this isn't the correct place for this bug, please forward me if so.

I've built a pretty standard busybox chain using many different options and
versions of git by this point, but the end result has been the same: using git
in this freshly built image fails on anything involved decompressing objects
(git clone among other things).

The context here has been to make a Docker image of busybox with a complete git
install contained therein. All my reproducible steps are here:

https://github.com/brianclements/dockerfile-busyboxplus/blob/gitbug/tarmaker/Dockerfile

I've even tried substituting different versions of buildroot (2013.08.1,
2014.02) and different versions of git (1.8.3, 1.8.5.3, 1.9.0) all with the
same result. The build succeeds, and the resulting image works as far as I can
tell, but running "git clone" on a larger repository that involves compression
of objects (smaller repos of text only work fine) will fail with: 

fatal: serious inflate inconsistency   
fatal: index-pack failed

Any thoughts or further testing I can try to tweak the git build?

Thanks.
