Hmmm, since I can I tried an ssh based clone and it works.

But indeed if I try to use the git:// URL it fails.

Oh I see, the alternates files in those repos are completely broken.
They have:

	/home/davem/git/../torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects

/home/davem/git is a symlink to /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem
so if I login and "cd git" then:

	git clone --shared --bare ../torvalds/linux-2.6.git net-next-2.6.git

which is how I always create my trees, we get that unusable 'alternates'
path above.

The ".." works when my GIT directory is the working directory, but
not as part of the symlink include path to get there.

I fixed the alternates file but it will take some time for the fix
to propagate from master.kernel.org

Let me know if it doesn't work even after an hour or so.

Thanks.
