Some amount of searching failed to turn up any hints on what this
error means or how I can work around it. I'd appreciate any advice ...

Is there a tag actually named "project-92~9"?  If so, it's
an invalid branch name for git.  I started working on a way
around it by mapping new names to it, but haven't gotten around to
finishing it....

fwiw: a similar error occurs when a svn tag-/branchname contains
spaces. The culprit seems to be $self->refname in

		command_noisy('update-ref', '-m', "r$rev",
		              $self->refname, $commit);

in rev_db_set()
