The same happened to me with busybox, and was solved by forcing:
export HTTP_CONTENT_ENCODING=gzip
Seems to me (from a cursory look) that "git clone" client always sends
gzipped (inflate) data, but either doesn't set the HTTP encoding header,
or the header gets lost somehow.
The git-http-backend uses that header to decide whether to deflate
the stream or not (
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/http-backend.c#L460 ).
That's the first thing I'd try if the GET request worked but the
following "POST git-update-pack"
does not.
