Where are you pulling from? From a repo I haven't updated recently:

address@hidden:~/w/qemu.git$ git remote get-url origin
git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git

...

If you're pulling from the github mirror I do see that it hasn't been updated
yet with stable-2.8 branch or tag. That process was previously automated AFAIK,
but maybe something has changed since the recent server switch-over. Will look
into it more tomorrow.
