Further to the above, if I go to the MGa.tmp directory and _manually_
type the contentious command,

  git reset --hard ed15bafcf4012ab6abc128a19b5ee60444b1060a

... the command works fine and I get a nice copy of the first commit
from the git repository.  So there is something odd about the error
tailor is displaying.
