This morning, whenever I try to pull from webkit's git repo I get the  
following scary error:

remote: error: failed to unpack compressed delta at offset 167772124  
from ./objects/pack/pack-48166dba7808af6c8cbc7b74dada2c456e2ba411.pack
remote: error: failed to read object  
be61563cc282b7c036d656ec05df6d5d66be4be7 at offset 167772121 from ./ 
objects/pack/pack-48166dba7808af6c8cbc7b74dada2c456e2ba411.pack
remote: fatal: object be61563cc282b7c036d656ec05df6d5d66be4be7 is  
corrupted
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote  
side.
fatal: protocol error: bad pack header

The only recent post about git I've seen is "git.webkit.org is missing  
svn revision r49890", which doesn't seem related.

(Looking at the output closely, I'm now wondering if the double  
appearance of 'remote' ("remote: aborting due to possible repository  
corruption on the remote side") means the warning is about my _local_  
repo?)
