Adding a test case is very much appreciated.

How about 'empty bundle file is rejected'?

'echo -n' is not portable; use simply

	>empty-bundle &&

(note the style: no blank after >). Also chain commands using &&.

Yes, there was an infinite loop. But we do not specifically protect our
git invocations in the test suite against this sort of failure. Just write

	test_must_fail git fetch empty-bundle

and end the test case here.

Furthermore, indentation should be one tabstop, not blanks.
