new git update fails with fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

[Dan Shelton]

I can replicate the 'fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output'
error with https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc.git, but only every 11-20
attempts.

I think this is a race condition somewhere, maybe in the threading code?
