Hello, This is with my big "every linux patch" repository that I talked about in another thread. To bring you up to speed: 1. Made repository 2. Made a zip of the .git directory 3. Copied the zip elsewhere 4. Extracted it into a temporary directory 5. Went to an out-of-date version of this repository 6. Used git-fetch to update it. This gave me the following output: $ git fetch remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 189146 objects. remote: Result has 186566 objects. remote: Deltifying 186566 objects. remote: 100% (186566/186566) done Unpacking 186566 objects fatal: failed to apply delta fatal: unpack-objects died with error code 128 Fetch failure: /home/andyp/projects/temp/.git What does that mean? I ran fsck --full on the source repository, but it's made no difference.
