No, I could not as I'm not a llvm contributor.
Here is another related discussion, hopefully could be useful -- https://reviews.llvm.org/D48494

Actually, I don't quite understand what your suggestions are.

Are you telling it's not a git bug but an invalid setup in the llvm-project repo?
If so, then I'd suggest you (or git community) provide a clear description (or link to a related document) what needs to be done to make it valid and I'd ask one of our contributors to propose a correspondent fix into the upstream.
Or you agree it's a bug.
Then I'd ask to propose your recommendations as a temporary (or permanent) workaround.

Could you please clarify?
