What is it in this series that causes t5800 to fail when merged to next, i.e.

$ sh t5800-remote-helpers.sh -i -v

expecting success: 
        git clone "testgit::${PWD}/server" localclone &&
        test_cmp public/file localclone/file

Cloning into localclone... fatal: Got feature command 'relative-marks' after data command fast-import: dumping crash report to /srv/project/git/git.git/t/trash directory.t5800-remote-helpers/localclone/.git/fast_import_crash_16957 error: refs/remotes/origin/master does not point to a valid object! error: Trying to write ref refs/heads/master with nonexistent object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'. not ok - 2 cloning from local repo # # git clone "testgit::${PWD}/server" localclone && # test_cmp public/file localclone/file #
