Looks like cg uses git-http-pull instead of rsync, and doesn't download anything but the required objects.

In which case you probably don't have the v2.6.11 tree either, in fact, since it's not required to get a working copy of HEAD.

If you fetch the _whole_ object database (with rsync), you should get them.
