As a random data point, it seems like the the original "grit" repository (from which badcarl's was forked) is broken, as well:
$ git clone git://github.com/mojombo/grit.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/asf/Desktop/grit/.git/
remote: Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
error: waitpid (async) failed
fatal: error in sideband demultiplexer
fetch-pack from 'git://github.com/mojombo/grit.git' failed.

In case you didn't know, I had already forked it months ago. I haven't made any changes, so nothing is lost if you just want to delete the repo.

I saw this yesterday when forking exception_logger. I deleted the fork and tried again and thing worked the 2nd time around.
