Thanks!  It was one of the last CVS repositories I was tracking.  I won't need
to use tools like cvs2cl just to find out what the recent changes were.  tig
and qgit do it much better.

The funny thing is that it crashes git:

$ git clone http://w1.fi/hostap.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/proski/tmp/hostap/.git/

Retrying the fetch manually gives:

The object starting with 60549 is indeed missing.  The crash is in the curl
library, which has been a problem before.  I don't want hostap to be the
testbed, so please go ahead and fix it.

You could try running git-gc, which does many maintenance operations on the
repository.  Please let me know if you need help fixing this problem.

That's fine.

If you have problems with git, the git community will be ready to help you. 
Some people would hate to hear about anyone abandoning git for whatever reason.
