I wanted to look at some OpenWRT bits this morning and ran into an issue cloning the packages repository when setting up the package feed. The feeds script executes this under the hood:

   git clone --depth 1 git://nbd.name/packages.git feeds/packages

When trying to run the command directly on OS X, I see:
   :: git clone --depth 1 git://nbd.name/packages.git
   Cloning into 'packages'...
   remote: Counting objects: 4728, done.
   remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4013/4013), done.

   error: unable to find 9f041557a0c81f696280bb934731786e3d009b36
   fatal: object of unexpected type
   fatal: index-pack failed

I tried on Linux, and it succeeded. I tested with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3.1. Unfortunately, I don't have time to dig through what's wrong at the moment so I thought I'd put it out there for others.

Thanks!
