Today I got this: fatal: failed to read delta base object at 3025976 from /home/bfields/local/linux-2.6/.git/objects/pack/pack-f7261d96cf1161b1b0a1593f673a67d0f2469e9b.pack This has happened once before recently, I believe with a pack that had just been created on a recent fetch. (If I remember correctly, this was soon after a failed suspend/resume cycle that might have interrupted an in-progress fetch; could that possible explain the error?) In that case I reset origin/master, deleted a tag or two, and fetched, and the problem seemed to be fixed. --b. -- 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
