This looks like the problem where ra_serf starts out with an HTTP/1.1
request: specifically, a chunked request. This is typically caused by
a non-1.1 proxy in front of the server, such as nginx.

Ideally, github would switch to a newer/better proxy such as haproxy.

But the core problem is on our side -- issue 3979
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3979).
