It is either "pack" or "keep" and specifies the name of the .keep file to remove in the later case. This is caught by git-fetch.sh with some code identified with a comment that reads: "# special line coming from index-pack with the pack name" > jonsmirl@jonsmirl:/usr/local/bin$ git --version > git version 1.5.0.rc2.g53551-dirty You must have conflicting vintage of GIT installations on your machine with missing support for the "pack" and "keep" stuff described above.
I can clone Linus' git tree without getting errors. Maybe there is something wrong with the wireless-dev tree. It looks like someone is working on it: jonsmirl@jonsmirl:/extra$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/gt/linville/wireless-dev.git Initialized empty Git repository in /extra/wireless-dev/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/gt/linville/wireless-dev.git' failed. jonsmirl@jonsmirl:/extra$ -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
