The packfile is 0 bytes long. Why? We downloaded the data and are trying to resolve deltas... but when we go back into the packfile we thought we had, we find it is nothing but an empty file. NFS strikes again! Have you been able to clone onto this drive before? Maybe with a different version of Git (1.4.x series, before this pread change in index-pack)? Clearly this operation should be working, but its not, and I'm certainly at a loss for why the file would just magically truncate itself. -- Shawn. - 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
