However, I think /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/ would
result in the same breakage, and that is something I consider gravely
broken.

Yeah, especially as I never realized that /pub/ was a symlink in the
first place :)

And it was even worse than that.  Even if you knew /pub was a symlink, you
could not have done anything about it, short of editing the alternates
file in the resulting repository by hand.

Heh, true :)

Up until now, that is.

Daniel's patch seems to fix the issue for me and it will be included in
tonight's pushout among other fixes.

Great, thanks a lot for the fix everyone.
