I tried this in a fresh cloned buildroot with the same result.

My git is 1.7.0.4 which does not seem too outdated to me.

Git bisect tells me that the cause ispackage/pkg-autotools.mk

The problem is that my git only gives a warning and uses HEAD when the
remote branch does not exist. Then "git archive" fails because it does
not find the requested commit.

A soluton could be to check success of "git archive" instead of "git
clone". I will send a patch for this soon.

Kind regards
