The SHA1 does not match any commits in the repo.

IE.
git clone git://github.com/antirez/linenoise.git
cd linenoise
git checkout g27a3b4d
error: pathspec 'g27a3b4d' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Therefore, the original author must of put in an invalid commit or the
repo has been rebased since the package was created.  The improper
github handling masked this problem.
