Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: git-core

Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 8.10
Package version: 1:1.5.6.3-1.1ubuntu2

'git pull' doesn't work.  Yesterday, I cloned Linus's kernel tree:
scj...@ailuropoda:~/cfs/kernels/git$ git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6
It is unchanged apart from pushing and popping a couple of patches via quilt 
(no patches are currently applied.)  Today I am attempting to update it:
scj...@ailuropoda:~/cfs/kernels/git/linux-2.6$ git pull

I rsynced the tree to a machine running 8.04 (git-core
1:1.5.4.3-1ubuntu2) and was able to 'git pull' successfully.

I tried 'git checkout -f' to get rid of any local changes (not that there 
should be any) but 'git pull' is still broken:
scj...@ailuropoda:~/cfs/kernels/git/linux-2.6$ git checkout -f
Checking out files: 100% (25410/25410), done.
Your branch is behind the tracked remote branch 'origin/master' by 32 commits,
and can be fast-forwarded.

'git-diff' also shows changes, even after 'git checkout -f'
