Hi
I somehow managed to break my GIT repo. Whenever I try to clone or fetch
from a clean local repo, I get an error.
I'm able to go back on the server, to the very last commit where
everything works, but as soon as I make a change locally and push it, it
breaks again. I've been trying to figure out what's wrong here for about
two days now, but I'm completely lost.
Here's the steps I take to reproduce the problem.
On the server, I can reset the ref to the last working commit:
git@server:~/shifter_rai.git$ echo
"cc5693a275c25003edc77b59f5a5c603a857f711" > refs/heads/master
Then, on my local computer, I can clone fine, but after making a commit,
it breaks again:
bbu@SIT-WST-05 /d/workspace9
$ git clone git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/git/shifter_rai

error: refs/remotes/origin/master does not point to a valid object!
error: Trying to write ref refs/heads/master with nonexistant object
85d1ee957c65485ed9c937a4f1bfdd44fda4ea35
fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'.
Needless to say, the mentioned object in fact does exist on the server:
git@server:~/shifter_rai.git$ ls -la
objects/85/d1ee957c65485ed9c937a4f1bfdd44fda4ea35
-r--r--r-- 1 git git 153 Nov 18 11:39
objects/85/d1ee957c65485ed9c937a4f1bfdd44fda4ea35
Can anyone tell me what is happening here, and how I can fix it?
