Hi, everyone. I'm trying to perform a shallow clone with visibility of
all remote branches.

git clone REPO --depth 1 --no-single-branch

is consistently giving me

Cloning into 'REPONAME'...
fatal: (null) is unknown object
remote: Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
fatal: recursion detected in die handler
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: error in sideband demultiplexer

with 2.0.3 .

Is this command not supported? Have I hit a bug?

Thanks!

```

Yes it's supported and yes I think you hit a bug. Any chance you can
share this repository? If not, perhaps just SHA-1 so we know what the
commit DAG looks like?
