Hi,
I am encountering a problem after a
git repack -a -d
on an archive.
The packet that has been generated appears to be corrupted:
git verify-pack -v pack-ebcdfbbda07e5a3e4136aa1f499990b35685bab4.idx
fatal: failed to read delta-pack base object
2849bd2bd8a76bbca37df2a4c8e8b990811d01a7
and apparently I might have lost all the history of my project.
I have a few questions:
1) I am working on both a pc and a notebook, syncing the two everytime I
move from one to the other.
On the PC I have git 1.4.2, on the notebook git 1.4.0. I am using
"unison" as a syncing tool.
Might the data loss have something to do with...
- the version of git I am using or the mixing of two versions?
- the syncing? I have noticed that after a sync, git is not immediately
in a happy state... for instance if I run
git diff
git lists diff commands for every file, even if those have not changed.
However after a
git status
everything seems fine again.
2) git unpack-objects seems to be able to extract some objects from the
pack, but at a certain point it dies.
- does it die on the first error or does it try to extract everything
that is possible to extract after the error?
- if it's the first, is there a way to trigger the second behaviour to
try to save as much as possible from the pack?
Thanks,
Sergio Callegari
