I noticed similar effects recently. Its related to the mirroring of master.kernel.org to the public server. At some point you have only the half of updates at the public site and obviously the git webscript refuses to show your tree when HEAD is updated, but the referenced commit blob is missing.

I guess that the mirroring is not aware of the update order (objects first, HEAD last) which would prevent such oddities.
