​I had the following setting in my .gitconfig:

[transfer]
# for $deity's sake, check that anything we're getting is complete and sane
on a regular basis
# See
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/binary-transparency/f-BI4o8HZW0
        fsckobjects = true
​
​I commented it out, and the checkout succeeded. If I then run "git fsck",
I get lots of "error in tag foo: missingEmail" errors, and an error exit
code. I guess this is just a minor annoyance?
