git-fetch fails with error code 128

Hello,

This is with my big "every linux patch" repository that I talked about in 
another thread.  To bring you up to speed:

 1. Made repository
 2. Made a zip of the .git directory
 3. Copied the zip elsewhere
 4. Extracted it into a temporary directory
 5. Went to an out-of-date version of this repository
 6. Used git-fetch to update it.

This gave me the following output:

$ git fetch
remote: Generating pack...
remote: Done counting 189146 objects.
remote: Result has 186566 objects.
remote: Deltifying 186566 objects.
remote:  100% (186566/186566) done
Unpacking 186566 objects
fatal: failed to apply delta
fatal: unpack-objects died with error code 128
Fetch failure: /home/andyp/projects/temp/.git

What does that mean?  I ran fsck --full on the source repository, but it's 
made no difference.

Bad voodoo.  What does 'git fetch -k' do?  It uses slightly
different code for handling the deltas...

Could you please instrument patch-delta.c to determine which of the
"return NULL" is executed?
