It's not missing, it's packed. I tend to re-pack after I make a release, 
and this time I did it after -rc6.

I assume you're using http, and probably not a very recent version.

http fetching has always been the ugly step-child of the other protocols. 
I personally dislike it a lot. But it _should_ work even with packed refs, 
at least if recent enough.

I just tested, it seems to work for me (I didn't wait for the clone to 
succeed, but it certainly got started).
