Problem in update from the linux-2.6 repository

Hi guys,

I run into a weird problem when trying to update my clone of the linux-2.6 repository from Linus:

--- # cg-update -f 17:09:00 URL:http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/HEAD [41/41] -> "refs/heads/.origin-fetching" [1] Getting alternates list Getting pack list error: Unable to find 2ed5e6d09e266bd2288d49aaaf240ed8c468c13c under http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/

Cannot obtain needed object 2ed5e6d09e266bd2288d49aaaf240ed8c468c13c while processing commit 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. cg-fetch: objects fetch failed ---

I use the latest available git and cogito for this and I have no idea which is at fault. Using rsync as transport it even looks more worse:

Maybe this is a problem of the kernel.org synchronization, but otherwise it should be fixed. Will there be a way to get some useful messages to the end user in case of an error or some sanity checks that the tree you are pulling from is in sane state or not?
