I decided to attempt cleanup myself:

  $ mv .git/refs/heads/origin/ git.refs.heads.origin
  $ git diff origin/master..master
  diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog
  index f7b4551..f2200a0 100644
  --- a/ChangeLog
  +++ b/ChangeLog
  ...

OK, back to normal.

  $ git fetch origin
  From git:/repo/git/acl
     4be7cc8..28f0f4f  master     -> origin/master
  $ git diff origin/master..master
  $ 


I _swear_ I tried that.  <sigh>  Sorry to trouble everyone, and thanks
Avery.  Appreciated.
