When I've seen similar problems in the past, it was usually (always?) caused because a git pull or git clone had been interrupted at the wrong place. My normal workaround is to remove the corrupted project. In this case, I think that may be "rm -rf .repo/projects/dalvik.git dalvik"

No, never seen that one. Try creating a fresh client in an empty
directory (without any .repo subdirectory) from AOSP. Might want to
also make sure you are using an up-to-date version of repo.
