should git download missing objects?

Hi,

I did an initial clone of Linus' linux-2.6.git tree, via the git protocol,
and then managed to accidently delete one of the .pack and
corresponding .idx files.

I thought that 'cg-fetch' would do the job of bring down the missing pack
again, and all would be well. Alas this isn't the case.

Pasky, on IRC, indicated that this might be because git-fetch-pack isn't
downloading missing objects when the git:// protocol is being used.

Should it? Is there a magic invocation of git fetch I can use to fix this
up. I can always re-clone completely (since this is just a tracking repo)
but it would be nice to fix this with the tools themselves.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Anand
