   I believe you need to use this:

       git -c fetch.fsckObjects=false clone .../elpa

   The fetch.fsckObjects setting works around a glitch in the
   ELPA repository <https://debbugs.gnu.org/22690>.

   (IMO, we should just bite the bullet and recreate the
   repository with the correct settings, but that's me.)

Thanks for the hint and the link.  Unfortunately, adding that
option doesn't work; same outcome.  (I notice, however, that the
number of objects has grown since i last tried -- this trend
will surely continue.)

 $ git -c fetch.fsckObjects=false clone -o sv 
git+ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/emacs/elpa

I'm unsure if this is just my computer or a general dropping of
support in newer Git versions for the old repo format -- will
investigate.  Maybe time to get a new disk drive or RAM or ...?
