Hi,

when there are stashed changes in a repo, creating a mirror with "remote add -f --mirror" fails, because it is missing the objects that are on the stash.

$ git remote add -f --mirror or ~/src/git

No idea if that is a recent breakage, as I learned about the --mirror option recently and most of the time my stash is empty anyway.
