I have not used rsync remotes in ages, but I was working on the
patch for -4/-6 support and decided to test it against rsync.kernel.org
Cloning git.git takes forever and failed with:
$ git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
Checking connectivity... fatal: bad object ecdc6d8612df80e871ed34bb6c3b01b20b0b82e6
fatal: remote did not send all necessary objects
git.git is gigantic and I haven't looked closely, and that may not be
a git bug...
However, trying to clone a smaller repo like pahole.git via rsync fails
differently; this looks more like a git bug:
$ git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git
fatal: Multiple updates for ref 'refs/remotes/origin/master' not allowed.
Using rsync(1) manually to grab pahole.git and inspecting the bare
repo with yields no anomalies with "git fsck --full".
$GIT_DIR/info/refs and $GIT_DIR/packed-refs both look fine, but
perhaps it's confused by the existence of $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
as a loose ref?
I tried dumping the refnames with the following patch and can see
refs/remotes/origin/master is the only duplicated ref:
diff --git a/refs/files-backend.c b/refs/files-backend.c
index c648b5e..e0cb0ab 100644
--- a/refs/files-backend.c
+++ b/refs/files-backend.c
@@ -3112,6 +3112,8 @@ static int ref_update_reject_duplicates(struct string_list *refnames,
int i, n = refnames->nr;
assert(err);
+ for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
+ fprintf(stderr, "ref: %s\n", refnames->items[i].string);
for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
if (!strcmp(refnames->items[i - 1].string, refnames->items[i].string)) {
And the output is:

Not sure what exactly is going on, my git internal API knowledge is not
great. Anyways, this is without any of my pending patches, and I was
also able to reproduce a slightly different error with the Debian wheezy
version (1.7.10.4) with:
fatal: Duplicated ref, and SHA1s don't match: refs/remotes/origin/master
