I just pulled from and pushed to master, and I'm getting:

Pushing to git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/emacs.git
Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 399 bytes | 399.00 KiB/s, done.

No problem on this end fetching from either of these remotes:

    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git
    git@github.com:emacs-mirror/emacs.git

The repository is not corrupted. The issue is right there in the error
message:

    fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 205121 bytes)

It does admittedly go on to say there's 'possible repository
corruption', but this is just catch-all messaging. Git only asked for
200K of memory (like it says in the error) -- seems reasonable to me.

Whatever server you were fetching from was having problems. Try again.

The savannah server probably had a transient resource shortage (which
can happen if too many clients try to access it at the same time).

I think you are right, the problem disappeared when I tried a few hours
later.
