If the name of the bad object was a bunch of zeros, then that's normal
for now (and hopefully fixed once we upgrade gitorious itself).

That's probably caused by the updates OSU-OSL did a few weeks ago.
Ruby apparently ships a hardcoded file name -> MIME type mapping instead
of consulting the system database (/etc/mime.types).
I'll try to fix it, but will need to wait for bernie. I don't feel
comfortable hacking gitorious on my own...

That's because your browser doesn't know how to handle application/python,
either. Depending on the browser, you can try teaching it to just display
application/python content inline as text.
