Still fails.  Log attached.

Note: you can see that this GIT tree has been in my source
cache for a long time (since late 2009) and only now does
it cause problems.

Also, the tag in question is there.

When I removed it from my source cache, the fetch/unpack worked fine.
Interestingly, what is being cached seems to have changed (but I don't
think the recipe has).  Perhaps this has something to do with the error
I was seeing.
