The repository is seriously broken. If you try wget to see refs/tags/* files, you will find out that they are not even tags; they are symrefs and both point at the master branch. I do not think the Porcelain-ish shipped with git creates symref in refs/tags/, so it was done by somebody playing with symbolic-ref by hand perhaps? I'd suggest James to do delete these bogus refs/tags/* files and tag the correct commit with "git tag".
The above does explain the breakage. The script that created snapshot tarballs for ipwraw was written was copying .git/HEAD to the tag name in .git/refs/tags... at some point .git/HEAD changed from being an actual symlink to master to being a normal file containing 'ref: refs/heads/master'
I believe I have fixed it now. Thanks, James - 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
