The http transport isn't very good for git, so git adds various special files to make it work at all. They need to be specially updated, and I hadn't done that. Using the native git protocol through git://git.kernel.org/.. gets around it, as does using rsync. I just repacked and updated it now, so how http should work too, although inefficiently (because it will get a whole new pack - just one of the disadvantages of the non-native protocols).
