That makes sense. Git is looking at the URL and not realizing that it's
relative to the home directory.
[remote "upstream"]
url = ../linux-2.6.git/
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

If I change that to
[remote "upstream"]
url = /home/b04825/git/linux-2.6.git/
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
then everything works.
IMHO, this is a bug in git.
