Subject: fetching from an hg remote fails with bare git repositories
Message-ID: <CAKfKJYuuO+eak-L2SUVUEmoOj16bgV6LL0S=g-LzFjTxZUcRzQ@mail.gmail.com>

Fetching from an hg remote fails with bare git repositories. Non-bare
repositories work fine.

Steps to reproduce:

mkdir /tmp/hgrepo
cd /tmp/hgrepo
hg init
echo foo > foo.txt
hg add foo.txt
hg commit -m "add foo.txt" foo.txt
git clone hg::/tmp/hgrepo/ /tmp/gitrepo
cd /tmp/gitrepo/
git fetch # WORKS
git clone --bare hg::/tmp/hgrepo/ /tmp/gitrepo.git
cd /tmp/gitrepo.git/
git fetch # FAILS

The error message from the last line is:

fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
error: hg::/tmp/hgrepo/ did not send all necessary objects
