Re: "Server does not allow request for unadvertised object"

[Danny Milosavljevic]

It means that the server only allows you to clone branches and tags, not 
individual
commits which are not on a branch or tag. (more specifically, it only allows you
to fetch what it has told you in the beginning exists)

If that happens, one can just clone the latest branch or tag without depth
restriction (which means it will clone the ENTIRE repository) and then git
checkout the commit you want.  That's a major reason why I put a fallback
in our git-download module.

I don't know what the benefit of the restriction is, though.
