Using the --full flag made the error disappear for your kernel tree,
but had no effect on the git tree.

I neglected to mention that I use cg-clone and cg-update rather than
the git equivalents.  (cogito 0.15.1 from kernel.org)

I recloned from http://kernel.org and I still get exactly the same fsck
errors for git, with or without the --full flag.

(I mention this only FYI.  I'm not having any problems compiling or
using either git or the kernel.)
