Problem in fetch (kernel)

Hi guys,

While trying to pull the kernel I get this:

git pull -v --progress linus
error: Unable to find 8faa6c02b39ec3896bd4e989c82ce7f6dbdaf04a under http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
Cannot obtain needed blob 8faa6c02b39ec3896bd4e989c82ce7f6dbdaf04a
while processing commit cca77b7c81876d819a5806f408b3c29b5b61a815.
error: Fetch failed.

This is with git 1.7.1.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks,
   Luben
