cg-pull: objects pull failed
I suspect that your copy of Cogito/git is old and incapable of
fetching from a packed repository. Did your Cogito come with
its own copy of git (specifically, git-http-pull)? Modern
Cogito "cg-pull" uses git-http-pull from core GIT as its
underlying pull driver for http transport, which should not have
the problem anymore.
