I saw the same problem today. I haven't had time to look into it,
but I believe it's due to stgit trying to directly modify files
under .git/refs instead of using git-update-ref, which breaks with
packed refs. The DAG patches rely much more on the refs, so the bug
is more severe in that case.

git-gc started packing refs by default in late May. That's probably
what's caused it to surface.
