So I ran `git gc` as a user with group write access to my repository, then noticed that remote clients complaining: allan@vent:~/var/git/www$ git pull You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you ... allan@vent:~/var/git/www$ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly which appears to be related to the packed-ref file being empty (as well as info/refs) on the server. I copied the two files from my client to the server to get things going again. No idea if this is a sane thing to do, but at least my clients will pull again. `git fsck` gives me dangling blob files: dangling blob 9b08c9937daee703d97aa487d258f93ab92eb691 dangling blob 7361898075e647e47c8835320e5481e94d8ef275 dangling blob 359e9687e64d8f7a9fd039131fd733a9726a1bad dangling blob a64f34e998ae9db80ef8ea33cb30e2486829d308 dangling blob a913d295a26ccda2fac7fc051f2e23400f187035 dangling blob e6773de701ef3b7a9e8c80e2319dcd4629702220 It seems gc is causes corruption. /Allan -- 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
