I'm a heavy user of git-svn and experience an issue with one specific
(git-svn) repository: 'git fsck' reports a corrupt packfile after every
checkout.
Now I'm totally puzzled about the cause and what do about it.
This is what I do:
git svn init -s http://svn.foo.com/myproject myproject.git
cd myproject.git
git svn fetch # Much more reliable than 'git-svn clone'
This checks out ~2100 commits and executes 2 git-gc during checkout. The
final .git repo size is about 940MB. Then I run
git fsck
➜ myproject.git git:(master) git fsck
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error: packed 0f5f33639bfc1a781fe080c31a1f076d9a25c1d3 from
.git/objects/pack/pack-6a6f5355584a5d71215d5fc867ce09602ceab533.pack is
corrupt

This only affects this very particular git-svn repo (and I have dozens
of them). The error happens reproducible on every fresh checkout as
described above. The backtrace does not appear always. The object is a
very large blob
git show 0f5f33639bfc1a781fe080c31a1f076d9a25c1d3 | wc -c

Any hints what to do?
Thanks
