[Gsll-devel] Repository corruption

[Liam Healy]

It appears to be a problem on repo.or.cz.  Someone on #git checked
another repository and had the same error.  I sent an email to the
maintainer of repo.or.cz, so I'm hopeful that will get things fixed quickly.
If not I will temporarily move to using the cl.net mirror for pushes, but
that will be somewhat disruptive so I'd like to avoid it if possible.

(I notice right now "push URL" has disappeared entirely and there
are other things on the gitweb pages that look wrong, so I'm hopeful
this is part of the repair process.)
