Debian Testing with v4.5.5-1 kernel, git v2.8.1.

I seem to have a broken git setup somehow on this machine - I'm currently testing the ability to fetch PRs from Github following [0], e.g. testing with a PR on dattobd[1]:

================================================

git clone https://github.com/datto/dattobd.git cd dattobd git fetch origin pull/41/head:pull_41 git checkout pull_41

================================================
This works fine in a VM, but on my main machine, the fetch fails:
================================================

fatal: failed to read object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000: Bad file descriptor

================================================

I moved my local config out of the way ('~/.gitconfig'), but nothing changed. Any ideas for how to debug this?

Thanks for any help.
