This is lurking in various forms at the moment, the fetcher
updates + new branches and the mirrors with old copies (my
guess), is causing this undesirable behaviour.

This is due to the way that git manages things on disk. In
this case, make sure to completely remove your old downloaded
copy of the repo and re-fetch.

I'm trying to find a way to have git properly deal with
this at the moment.
