Though you need to make sure you aren't pushing up any intermediate trees with the broken state, either (i.e., you can't push up the fix on top of some other changes; the fix has to come first). If it wasn't already pushed up, then you should be able to fix via "git rebase -i" or similar. That will rewrite history, but the history hasn't been shared with anyone else by pushing, it shouldn't be a big deal. > (PS: I have attempted to contact GitHub about this, but haven’t heard back) Hopefully one of the suggestions above should lead to a resolution. But in the worst case they can relax the fsck restrictions temporarily to get a fix pushed up. -Peff
