Looks like the pack index was corrupted; removing the one it just fetched
and repulling has made it happier.

However, it's made me unhappier. Again, can we please have it accessible
via the git protocol. Or at least can whoever looks after that tree avoid
repacking it except maybe once a month?

Why? I don't want to have to keep on fetching 300 odd MB of pack files
every time I pull from this tree. 10 minutes into my current pull and
I only have 80MB... another 220MB to go. IOW, 45 minutes for a pull.

This really isn't practical.
