It crashes the kernel for me here :-(

I tried to chop down a tig repo a few commits from the top for checking out the crash I'm seeing (only when pulling from a remote repo by HTTP, and it is not up to date here) by doing:

  cp -r tig tig.tst
  cd tig.tst
  git reset --hard HEAD~3
  git prune

But now git-pull /doesn't/ fetch anything, so I see no crash. What am I doing wrong here?
