I'm not sure what happened.  I did swap-out my links to the packfiles in
Linus' tree ... but I ran the "git prune" and "git-update-server-info"
afterwards.  So the tree should have been consistent (but possibly might
have had some objects in the packfiles that might not have been needed
by the heads in my tree if Linus was ahead of my tree).

In general the "rsync:" protocol should be the lowest overhead for a
fresh clone, but "git:" should be better for subsequent pulls and fetches.
