wireless-2.6 git repos broken

[Michael Buesch]

Hi John,

I would say something is broken in the wireless-2.6 git repository.
When I try to clone the tree, I get this error:

mb@ppc1:/tmp$ git --version
git version 1.2.3
mb@ppc1:/tmp$ git clone  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git' failed.

I tried several times on two different machines and also (as you can see)
with different git versions.
Could it be a git bug?

Do you have the same problem on other git trees?
I saw some people running into this error when cloning Linus' 
linux-2.6.git. I couldn't reproduce it, using exactly the same git version.

I had the same error when pulling from Linus's tree. It was fixed with a 'git fsck-objects --full' 
command.

Uhm, that tells me the git tree on kernel.org is broken
and John has to run this command, right?

Hmmm...well, I'll look into it.  FWIW, I cloned my git tree from
kernel.org onto my laptop while I was at OLS w/o any problems.

There is a thread today on LKML that says that the git server errors out (wrongly) if the download 
does not finish in 10 minutes. That problem is being fixed, but they suggest using rsync protocol to 
clone a large repository.

Michael, is this the cause of your problem?
