This is because git only trusts the the commits in $GIT_DIR/refs. Since commit v1.5.1-107-ge3c6f24 (in next) git-fetch first checks if we have all the objects that we are going to fetch available locally. This could be added for the push. But for now you could add a branch in your repo in master.kernel.org to track linus' master branch.
