Re: Problem with cg-clone

I installed the latest git and cogito from their repositories and now
the local clone command is failing:

cg-fetch: objects fetch failed
cg-clone: fetch failed

The attached patch should fix git-local-fetch which I think the
above problem is.  git-clone -l -s would be much faster if you
are doing a local clone, however.
