Hi, I have a repo that got broken somehow (don't know the exact details, probably because it is shared with another repo and I rewrote history). Now I want to fetch one branch to a different repo (that happens to be the alternative to the first one, but I think this is unrelated.): ukl@hostname:~/path1/linux-2.6$ git fetch ~/path2/linux-2.6 sectionmismatches remote: Counting objects: 118, done. remote: error: unable to find 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 remote: Compressing objects: 100% (83/83), done. remote: fatal: unable to read 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. fatal: protocol error: bad pack header I don't know what 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 is, but I think it's not necessary for the sectionmismatches branch: ukl@hostname:~/path2/linux-2.6$ git format-patch linus/master..sectionmismatches 0001-wip-enable-DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH.patch 0002-ARM-sa1111-move-__sa1111_probe-to-.devinit.text.patch 0003-ARM-omap1-nokia770-mark-some-functions-__init.patch 0004-ARM-omap-fb-move-omap_init_fb-to-.init.text.patch 0005-ARM-omap-fb-move-omapfb_reserve_sram-to-.init.text.patch 0006-ARM-omap-fb-move-get_fbmem_region-to-.init.text.patch 0007-ARM-omap-move-omap_get_config-et-al.-to-.init.text.patch 0008-wip-ARM-omap-move-omap_board_config_kernel-to-.init..patch 0009-ARM-omap-ams-delta-move-config-to-.init.data.patch 0010-MTD-pxa2xx-move-pxa2xx_flash_probe-to-.devinit.text.patch 0011-VIDEO-sa1100fb-register-driver-using-platform_driver.patch 0012-ARM-s3c64xx-don-t-put-smartq_bl_init-in-.init.text.patch 0013-ARM-s3c64xx-don-t-put-smartq7_leds-in-.init.data.patch 0014-ARM-s3c64xx-don-t-put-smartq5_leds-in-.init.data.patch 0015-ARM-nomadik-move-nmk_gpio_probe-to-.devinit.text.patch and linus/master is contained in ~/path1/linux-2.6, too.

I wonder what git stash is doing during that time.) I don't know if this is the problem here, though.
