Just because you mentioned it, I did a git-fsck-objects on my local
copies of your kernel tree and Junio's git tree.

 From git I got this:
$git-fsck-objects
missing commit 00d8bbd3c4bba72a6dfd48c2c0c9cbaa000f13c2
broken link from     tag 02b2acff8bafb6d73c6513469cdda0c6c18c4138
               to  commit d5bc7eecbbb0b9f6122708bf5cd62f78ebdaafd8
<similar lines snipped>

 From your tree I got only this single line:
dangling commit 02459eaab98a6a57717bc0cacede148fc76af881

Yet both trees compile and run perfectly.  Are these messages
worrisome?  (BTW, git was cloned and updated using http.)
