The "non monotonic index" check is to make sure pack .idx file is sane, and it appears that you are getting the error before you fetch new pack from the server, which means one of your local packs is bad.

I just cloned from the kernel.org archive over http (I usually don't, but your report was alarming enough) and the packfile I have there do not seem to have the problem.
