Its a somewhat known problem, but thus far has only shown up in
contexts where I'm unable to get enough data to debug the problem.

Delete the branch and repush it.  The bug is that EGit didn't push
all of the objects needed by the branch.  If you put the missing
objects from the source client into the server repository, it'll
be fine.

To prevent this in the future, you can force a server to check during
push by enabling receive.fsckObjects in the server repository's
configuration file.  A broken EGit client will have the push
rejected immediately.
