Sometime overnight this problem disappeared.  I haven't actually
tested this idea, but I have a hunch that your commit yesterday
of "Fix zero-object version-2 packs" is the reason.
No, I think the reason is simply that I pushed more updates to kernel.org, 
so now the kernel git repo has an explicit and separate "master" branch 
again.

What is your git version? The _real_ fix probably is to just upgrade. Are 
you using that broken(*) Debian git package by any chance?

(*) By broken I mean "stable cannot be bothered to upgrade packages to 
modern versions, and is still on some ancient 1.4-based git version"
