I was doing exactly that, and here's the result: 7efbff7531af4281487d54c1dc1401308d988e33 is first bad commit commit 7efbff7531af4281487d54c1dc1401308d988e33 Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 5 00:21:37 2007 -0800 unpack_sha1_file(): detect corrupt loose object files. We did not detect broken loose object files, either when underlying inflate() signalled the breakage, nor inflate() finished and we had garbage trailing at the end. We do better now. We also make unpack_sha1_file() a static function to sha1_file.c, since it is not used by anybody outside.

I can reproduce the issue on another machine running Fedora Core 6 i386 with all updates, also with zlib 1.2.3. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - 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
