Sparkleshare git version 1.8.1.3
Mac OS X git version 2.2.1
Server git version 1.7.1
... there is no newer version in the centos repositories.
It seems that git 2.2.1 does not allow pushing a shallow repository to a git 1.7.1 server.
It seems to work with the 1.8.1.3 client to push to the 1.7.1 server. :)
Manually downgraded/switched to 1.8 version of git via homebrew.
$ brew switch git 1.8.5.2
That solved the issue. Thanks.

The git man page of git-clone does not state it but Linux git-clone man pages state this.
--depth
Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified
number of revisions. A shallow repository has a number of
limitations (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor push from nor
into it), but is adequate if you are only interested in the recent
history of a large project with a long history, and would want to
send in fixes as patches.
