So I ran `git gc` as a user with group write access to my repository, then
noticed that remote clients complaining:
allan@vent:~/var/git/www$ git pull
You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
...
allan@vent:~/var/git/www$ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
which appears to be related to the packed-ref file being empty (as well
as info/refs) on the server. I copied the two files from my client to
the server to get things going again. No idea if this is a sane thing
to do, but at least my clients will pull again.
`git fsck` gives me dangling blob files:
dangling blob 9b08c9937daee703d97aa487d258f93ab92eb691
dangling blob 7361898075e647e47c8835320e5481e94d8ef275

It seems gc is causes corruption.
