Can't fetch 2.6.20-rc1 tag...

Hi

I've got this problem when issuing the following command in a kernel repo:

   $ git branch
   * master
   origin
   $ git pull -tags
   fatal: unexpected EOF
   Fetch failure:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

My git version is '1.4.4.2'

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

thanks
