I suspect that your copy of Cogito/git is old and incapable of
fetching from a packed repository.  Did your Cogito come with
its own copy of git (specifically, git-http-pull)?  Modern
Cogito "cg-pull" uses git-http-pull from core GIT as its
underlying pull driver for http transport, which should not have
the problem anymore.
