It's not just you:

$ git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs.git/
Cloning into 'emacs'...
remote: Counting objects: 780227, done.
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: protocol error: bad pack header

I however do not know whom to tell, mayble you can find some contact
info on the savannah webpage: https://savannah.gnu.org/
