The http transport isn't very good for git, so git adds various special
files to make it work at all. They need to be specially updated, and I
hadn't done that.

Using the native git protocol through git://git.kernel.org/.. gets around
it, as does using rsync.

I just repacked and updated it now, so how http should work too, although
inefficiently (because it will get a whole new pack - just one of the
disadvantages of the non-native protocols).
