I've noticed this repo corruption as well.  Even the tags I had created are 
missing now.  For now, I reccommend using 1.3.2 out of downloads.  I'll try to 
fix the repo this weekend.

You are missing a "master" remote branch. 
That's why you get: warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to 
checkout.
