Not likely. This is an error printed by the "repo" tool used by Android. It typically indicates the repo command you are executing is pointing to a URL that may be a local mirror and contain additional patches in it that were not signed by me.

This may be a problem with the git.kernel.org HTTP server. It is probably not a problem with Git itself.
