We have uncovered a regression in this commit: b8a2486f1524947f232f657e9f2ebf44e3e7a243 The symptom is that 'git fetch' dies with: error: index-pack died of signal 10 fatal: index-pack failed I have only been able to reproduce it on a Mac thus far; will try ubuntu next. We can make it go away by running: git config pack.threads 1 To reproduce it, download this working copy: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/tmp/src.git.tar.gz Then: tar xvfz src.git.tar.gz cd src.git git fetch origin refs/heads/lkgr (That is the shortest reproduction I could come up with; sorry).
