As one can easily guess (and confirm with [[hurd/debugging/rpctrace]]), `git`
tries to [[glibc/mmap]] a file via the [[hurd/translator/nfs]] translator, this
fails, and it isn't prepared to cope with that:

This is the [[libnetfs: `io_map`|service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/libnetfs_io_map]] issue.

There is a `NO_MMAP` conditional in Git's source code, but it is a compile-time
conditional.  The fallback code in `compat/mmap.c:git_mmap` only supports
`MAP_PRIVATE`, and simply `pread`s in the requested portion of a file.  This
could be made a runtime fallback, too.
