I suppose you mean "fatal: failed to apply delta", because "unable to apply delta" doesn't appear anywhere in the current source tree. > Can anyone give me any hints as to how I find out what is causing the > problem?

Some object you're requesting is made of a delta, and that delta is bad, therefore patch_delta() returns NULL (you could instrument it to determine exactly why). Maybe fast-import hasn't flushed the needed data to the pack yet?
