I am not observing that problem, also with Git 2.7.4:

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/findutils.git tmp

You might try running it again. Maybe it's the DDOS on Dyn?

​I had the following setting in my .gitconfig:

[transfer] 

# for $deity's sake, check that anything we're getting is complete and sane on a regular basis

# See https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/binary-transparency/f-BI4o8HZW0

        fsckobjects = true 

​

​I commented it out, and the checkout succeeded. If I then run "git fsck", I get lots of "error in tag foo: missingEmail" errors, and an error exit code. I guess this is just a minor annoyance?
