Yeah, the actual code only hits modifiable value

This is Fedora?  Which version?  I was working on getting a
chroot setup for testing some RPM-based distros, but some of the
mirrors/tools for doing that were out-of-date.  Might try
installing in QEMU...

Thanks for the report, following should fix it.

Subject: [PATCH] t/git.t: avoid passing read-only value to git_unquote

Older versions of Perl (tested 5.14.2 on Debian wheezy(*),
reported by Konstantin on Perl 5.16.3) considered the result of
concatenating two string literals to be a constant value.

(*) not that other stuff works on wheezy, but t/git.t should.
