Then, I tried checking out sources from command line using the git client: git clone git://egit.eclipse.org/egit.git egit cd egit git checkout 6b528445c3e543688b990e0a631c5f0238b02741 cd .. tar -cjf egit_test.tar.bz2 egit This should be $ git archive --format=tar 6b528445c3e543688b990e0a631c5f0238b02741 | bzip2 > egit_test.tar.bz2 just to make sure that it isn't a problem of how tarballs are created when using the above URL. It seems the file in the repository is corrupted (although I'm not entirely convinced). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Git version 1.6.4.4 is long since fixing bug with not using ':raw' (binary) output layer with binary files. Also I don't see how it could have corrupted only 2 files, without making [compressed] archive un-compressable (invalid). -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
