Hmm, I just unpacked the archive in a seperate directory, removed .git/objects/info/alternates and then git format-patch linus/master..sectionmismatches fails in a different way: fatal: Invalid revision range linus/master..sectionmismatches I guess adding a pristine copy of Linus' tree should do the trick. [ ... some time later ... creating a fresh clone takes quite some time ... ] No, that's not enough, I will handpick some objects from the original. Ah, you only need 16edb8381f2f2dabec9cc59f4a3d8c9ead899668 to make format-patch work, but still 09b3f464a50111071f7740056b98fa8f36133347 is missing for this tree. This doesn't hurt format-patch as it's enough for it to know that this entry didn't change. So format-patch needs less information than bundle/fetch and it's OK that the former succeeds and the latter fails. [...] No, that's not the (only) problem, 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 is needed, git format-patch is just ignorant enough and invents something different: username@hostname:~/path/linux-2.6$ git rev-list linus/master..sectionmismatches eb84720860a90769473b42215a4cb67ee5efe7a7 2e14a5c831032fa489384763087f4a03d88607cb 00b18e8058e98927e2e4eae32deae7e58f47467c 1ad328f663128b5c6e6b4af1ac2da1b443dba530 2a0e4c23a34c78891db685b2b4851705fd36d656 089d061c26b00a5b8dbb9e70b81d36a97e1daded b7ce4ec88f1bdfbe49fa7ef12df8f985d705605a b40acb01793933cd6baaaf826f3fef6dd734f72b 780e3d47d067b54b17bcac3794d62825e8e60422 ce06129cf7bbf85afe4fc127afc957d36ba4e9e4 c2172d687578e7eb037a232802a4a8c6de1b0eea 0c23684f39714a72f54036ca2be36e8894794b66 cea2a0668ee1a9dc3617a810954a41c7701a08e9 2bd6ff604ac3aa4c96636dda1ad80a289205ccba 7591700d538d08f2e8327bb439b6cb0488e13f3e username@hostname:~/path/linux-2.6$ git diff-tree -r 7591700d538d08f2e8327bb439b6cb0488e13f3e 7591700d538d08f2e8327bb439b6cb0488e13f3e :100644 100644 1b4afd2e6ca089de0babdacc5781426ef118da5c 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 M lib/Kconfig.debug commit 7591700d538d08f2e8327bb439b6cb0488e13f3e Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 4 08:52:56 2010 +0200 wip: enable DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH diff --git a/lib/Kconfig.debug b/lib/Kconfig.debug index 1b4afd2..40aaeb2 100644 --- a/lib/Kconfig.debug +++ b/lib/Kconfig.debug @@ -1,1157 +0,0 @@ - -config PRINTK_TIME - bool "Show timing information on printks" - depends on PRINTK - help - Selecting this option causes timing information to be - included in printk output. This allows you to measure - the interval between kernel operations, including bootup - operations. This is useful for identifying long delays So format-patch assumes that lib/Kconfig.debug became empty because of not knowing what 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 is. So it's not git-bundle/git-fetch that is broken, but format-patch. I attached an archive with the two objects 16edb8381f2f2dabec9cc59f4a3d8c9ead899668 and 09b3f464a50111071f7740056b98fa8f36133347 and will try to recreate 40aaeb204dc04d3cf15c060133f65538b43b13b0 now.
