BTW, I do not think this is related to git.git repository
problem, but I wonder why we do not do fetch_object() against
each altbase in http-fetch.c::fetch(); nobody said you cannot
borrow unpacked object from your neighbour.

I believe the code is doing that, but elsewhere.

Er, never mind what I said in my previous message.  Daniel is correct,
process_curl_messages() will try the next altbase if a request 404s.
