Without knowing much about git-subtree, this looks like the culprit. A
quick look at cmd_push in git-subtree.sh indicates that it doesn't check
for an error return from 'git subtree split --prefix=$prefix', so if
that goes wrong you end up doing:
git push $repository :refs/heads/$refspec
which deletes the branch.
Can you try running this:
git subtree split --prefix=lib/com_lib/
and see if that gives the same "fatal: bad object" message as above?
