I am able to use git. Are you sure the package is actually unusable?
For example, do commands like "git init" work?

Thanks for reporting. I'm having some trouble understanding the exact
problem.
Does version 2.x have this problem as well? There was a change
upstream mentioning http.pushbuffer but I am not sure if it is
related.

remote-curl: fix large pushes with GSSAPI
Due to an interaction between the way libcurl handles GSSAPI
authentication over HTTP and the way git uses libcurl, large
pushes (those over http.postBuffer bytes) would fail due to
an authentication failure requiring a rewind of the curl
buffer. Such a rewind was not possible because the data did
not fit into the entire buffer.
Enable the use of the Expect: 100-continue header for large
requests where the server offers GSSAPI authentication to
avoid this issue, since the request would otherwise fail.
This allows git to get the authentication data right before
sending the pack contents. Existing cases where pushes
would succeed, including small requests using GSSAPI, still
disable the use of 100 Continue, as it causes problems for
some remote HTTP implementations (servers and proxies).

Thanks and hope that helps,
