Problem #1:
This happens because the Git server is trying to use the git "dumb" HTTP protocol, which is not supported by Bitbucket Server. Bitbucket Server supports only the "smart" HTTP protocol, which was introduced in Git 1.6.6.
Problem #2:
Resolution
Problem #1:
Update the Git on the system running your Bitbucket server to a supported one (1.6.6 and above).
Problem #2:
Update the Git client to something higher the Git 1.7.1. Although Git dumb protocol is supposed to be used on any Git client above 1.6.6 (see 4.1 Git on the Server - The Protocols). Please upgrade upgrade your Git client to the most of recent supported one as described on our Supported Platforms.
