I've just updated my tree with cg-pull from 
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/cogito/cogito.git

There seems to be a problem with the repository object for tag 
"pull_from_pasky"

[philip@xray cogito]$ git-fsck-cache
bad sha1 entry '11ed64c1b141c9ba397a1ca76aef2cd250976007'
error: .git/refs/tags/pull_from_pasky: invalid sha1 pointer 
11ed64c1b141c9ba397a1ca76aef2cd250976007

And in fact 11ed64... _is_ bad:

[philip@xray cogito]$ ls -l 
.git/objects/11/ed64c1b141c9ba397a1ca76aef2cd250976007
-rw-r--r--    1 philip   philip          0 Jun  5 22:58 
.git/objects/11/ed64c1b141c9ba397a1ca76aef2cd250976007

Note the files is 0 bytes in size.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Dear diary, on Mon, Jun 06, 2005 at 08:08:24AM CEST, I got a letter
where Philip Pokorny <ppokorny@mindspring.com> told me that...

Indeed, unbelievable. I've deleted it several times but somehow it
always pops up again. Yes, its contents is nonsensical as it points to
the history at some point before the hashing changes. Please just delete
it.
