Strange differences in cogito on SPARC and i386

git, cogito up to date everywhere.

I updated my linux-2.6.git trees on SPARC and i386 yesterday at almost the
same time, and I then noted that on the SPARC I'd get interrupted fetches
and stuff like:

  
   [vonbrand@pincoya linux-2.6.git]$ cg-update
   Recovering from a previously interrupted fetch...
   15:04:56 URL:http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/HEAD [41/41] -> "refs/heads/.origin-fetching" [1]

Just started again each time, seems to work fine. On i386 the download goes
smoothly, no hickups. And there are /no/ updates while SPARC is working its
head off getting updates...

Then again, today on the SPARC it is getting several thousand objects (!),
while on i386 it was only a few dozen.

Some stupid pilot error? Got different mirrors between machines? Sounds
unlikely, as repeating the command (and presumably rotating between DNS
entries) makes no difference.

Just finished SPARCwise. Almost 10K objects for changes to 4 files?! Yes,
the files changed are the same on both machines.

Mistified...
