Hello Ben,

There seems to be an issue with https (and http) git access
on git.openafs.org (a.k.a. openafs.mit.edu) as of yesterday. git
protocol is working.

When trying to clone or fetch with https://git.openafs.org, git
asserts when trying to process commit 216376aa1177

$ git clone https://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
Cloning into 'openafs'...
BUG: builtin/index-pack.c:1006: child->real_type != OBJ_REF_DELTA
error: index-pack died of signal 6
error: Unable to find 6f3da121ff8cfef22cd871c4f63f740fb7b8a811 under http://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
Cannot obtain needed blob 6f3da121ff8cfef22cd871c4f63f740fb7b8a811
while processing commit 216376aa1177d8db6c7059d70ab89bae2610e01e.
error: fetch failed.

However, git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git works.

$ git clone git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
...
(no errors)

(The github mirror at openafs/openafs looks to be up to date, so
if git:// is not an option, that mirror can be used for fetches
and clones.)

Best regards,
Mike
