Hrm, there was a pretty serious corruption bug in early versions of the worktree code (IIRC, pruning would not consider detached HEADs from other worktrees, and could drop that object). > Yesterday, when I tried to fetch from my upstream I got a notification > about GC needed.

However, looking at the code, I'm not convinced that fsck is actually considering detached worktree heads properly, either. Try: git rev-list --all --reflog --objects >/dev/null which I know checks worktrees correctly. I'd expect that to fail. If it does, then we need to narrow down which worktree is corrupt. Perhaps something like: git worktree list | while read worktree head junk; do git rev-list --objects $head >/dev/null || echo "$worktree seems corrupt" done > I can't find that SHA anywhere: I looked in .git/objects, etc. I also > can't find any problems with my repo; obviously I haven't checked > everything but I can show the git log back to the initial commit, all > my stashes look fine, all my worktrees seem to be OK (git status etc. > work fine in all of them). "git status" might succeed if the corruption is further back in the history. > I would hate to have to throw this setup away since it has 23 stashes > and 25 worktrees in various states that would be annoying to have to > recreate... Definitely don't throw it away. I suspect you have a single corrupt worktree, and everything else is fine. -Peff
