To be fair, the site is _not_ missing anything from HTTP
protocol perspective, because when git asks 8d/ea0351... file,
the server responds with a regular "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" response.
So it is _your_ repository that is corrupt -- instead of
correctly _lacking_ the file you should have removed with
prune-packed, it has a garbage file.

Actually, it sends a 302 redirect. 

Perhaps a repository config option to treat a 302 as a 404?
