I think we should intentionally do this test once in a while. Two days
ago I was informed that 2.6.20.21 (the latest 2.6.20 I pushed 3 months
ago) was not clonable nor pullable due to a problem with the HEAD
pointing to latest tag instead of latest commit. Since the error was
also present in my local tree, I'm certain that it remained there
unnoticed for 3 months !

According to git [1] Ralf merged 2.6.20.21 on 2007-10-18 into the 2.6.20
branch of his mips tree, so it must have been somehow possible...

Maybe he did this locally (Linus showed me that local FS cloning disables
a lot of tests). Or maybe it could work for some pulls :-/ Definitely a
weird issue anyway!

Err... I managed to do it for thinkpad-acpi's merge tree too, a lot of time
ago. So it was somehow possible to get it through the anonymous git server,
probably through the tag. What I do know is that I usually send head's up
email when I notice something like this, and I find it strange that you
didn't get one from me at that time... but I may have forgotten to send it
at that time.
