I am usually using latest version compiled on gentoo from ~x86
(currently it is 1.5.4.5).

Interestingly those files exist for linux-2.6.22.y, i.e. accessing
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.22.y.git/info/refs
gives something and that is probably why I can fetch from 2.6.22.y branch.

Why git tries to access it is something beyond my understanding, I guess
it is the way http access works.

But I wonder, why the similar file is not present on 2.6.23.y and
2.6.24.y branch. My git config for project looks like this:

So there is clearly discrepancy between those two on the server, but
whether this is a bug or intentional I do not know.
