That's it. I guess you've garbage-collected your repository, either by hand ('git gc') or automatically, and that there is a file .git/packed-refs that contains a line like this: 8e22067d59f59ee3a39f5d4f95c27e8ea3c935d6 refs/heads/master If so, someone (perhaps you?) needs to modify the emacs-repository-get-version function in lisp/version.el to handle this situation.
