Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run on .../paulus/powerpc.git?

Linus' tree clones fine, paulus' doesn't:

$ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git
Cannot get remote repository information.

Have you tried using the git protocol ("git://" instead of "http://")? Or
cloning Linus tree and then fetching Paulus tree into it?

So, like, the other day Stephen Rothwell mumbled:

So two things: Firewall policy prevents using git native protocol,
and it sure would be nice if we could chmod +x hooks/post-update
on that tree once and for all as that issue exists every time it
is updated.

I can not penetrate the firewall with "git://".=20
Now http works.

funnily enough, I can't seem to clone your tree again today; I'm using the http: protocol.  

hopefully, the fix should only be a matter of:

chmod +x hooks/post-update

Thanks,

Kim

Nope.  This patch (to git) from Junio Hamano seems to fix it, though.
