However, so does the parent of 17966c0a63d. So I don't know if the
u-boot-efi repo is just broken, or if there's some other different bug
at play.

git fsck reports a number of dangling tags, but no other issues:

Weird. I had set http.maxrequests to "1" to give more readable output
from GIT_CURL_VERBOSE, etc. It fails with that setting, but not with the
default of 5. Which certainly seems like a bug, but one that has been
there for a while (at least since v2.9.x, which I tested).

I couldn't reproduce an error after porting your patch to
master (commit 041f5ea1cf987a40 "The third batch"):
https://80x24.org/spew/20190322163449.25362-1-e@80x24.org/raw

So you might've hit an ephemeral error (bad connection,
HTTP server restarting, etc).
