I just was fetching some updates from a repository which I sync from CVS
into my development repository.  I got the following wierd errors about
a tag during the fetch, it seemed to fix itself by the end ... hmmmm.

apw@pinky$ git --version
git version 1.4.4.1.g61fba

-apw

apw@pinky$ git fetch

That sounds as if we are checking the refs/tags/v0_72_3 before
we get the object itself.  "does not point to a valid object!"
message comes from do_one_ref() in refs.c which means your
repository had $GIT_DIR/refs/tags/v0_72_3 before that object was
retrieved.

Which is _bad_.  Could you reproduce and bisect it?
