Linus repository at git.kernel.org???

The failure does not seem to happen on all repositories, but
just is with Linus repository, so I doubt "git update" on either
your end or kernel.org public machines have anything to do with
this.  And Linus repository from gitweb is also missing.

I do not have more access to the mirrored public machines than
you have.  I can try snooping the traffic from git-peek-remote
to git://git.kernel.org/ but cannot examine the filesystem over
there, so I cannot tell you more than this: I looked at Linus
repository on the mirror source machine and did not see anything
obviously wrong with it.  It seemed to have updated around 3-4
hours ago.
