More info on this.

git-fetch-pack (invoked by cg-fetch) bails out because it thinks it
got a 404 fetching one of the packs:

Getting pack 9cbe4a5eb777d4ee535f08feb471e812208ed3a5
 which contains 7004cdf821ab5ddcded7819dea34015b0e84cd9a
error: Unable to get pack file
http://locke.catalyst.net.nz/git/moodle.git//objects/pack/pack-9cbe4a5eb777d4ee535f08feb471e812208ed3a5.pack
The requested URL returned error: 404

However, the url is reachable via http (tested with curl and wget) and
Apache records the transaction as a 200 OK -- there's no 404 there!
(There are 404s, of course, for objects that are in the pack but not
for any pack). Trying to read http-fetch.c and http-pull.c to figure
out where we could get the return status wrong, but my C is just
nonexistant. Hints appreciated.

cheers,
