It just depends on which IP address you happen to get when you look at
www.kernel.org.
www.kernel.org resolves to two addresses:
Name: zeus-pub.kernel.org
Address: 204.152.191.5
Name: zeus-pub.kernel.org
Address: 204.152.191.37
and the .5 address is working, but the .37 address has the broken mirror.
I thought hpa took it out of service while it was re-syncing, but
apparently not.
Well, it had resynched, but the time and date stamp on the
refs/heads/master file were correct - just the data wrong - so rsync
didn't flag the file. I forced rsync --checksum and it's correct now.
