One of them is switched off and in another place at the moment, so this is 
from memory:

The initial repository was made with origin/master from a few days ago, that's 
the one I've been calling "out-of-date".  I cloned that to another computer 
and continued adding patches using "1.4.4.1.g3ece-dirty" (the dirt is just my 
colour branch patch on top of ba988a83).  The fetch is being done back on the 
original system which has the newer git but older repository.

I hadn't realised it was quite a serious as these responses are making it 
sound.  I'll gather more precise data upon my return home.

On the up-to-date computer I've just made a fresh repository, set .git/config 
to point locally at the full repository and ran git-fetch.  Interestingly, 
that has worked perfectly.

Clearly it is version-specific.  I'll do a bit of bisection later and see if I 
can nail the problem down.
