Do you have a path/to/repo.git/git/0.git/objects/info/alternates ?

Bitmaps won't work when packing a repo with alternates
In other words, does 817390f628f74a55c627f1ddab8a44aa029753a0
exist in your 0.git, or somewhere else?

The normal epoch repos (git/[0-9]+.git) aren't created with alternates
by default; instead all.git uses git/[0-9]+.git as alternates.

You might have the same result.  You can probably disable bitmaps
in all.git/config and set it in a git repo that does have full
closure.
