My bad. A small detail went through the crack: the real_type of a delta object is the real_type of its base object. Without this, the created index will be wrong as the actual object SHA1 won't match the object. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@xxxxxxx> --- If you got a corrupted .idx file because of this ('git verify-pack' should tell) then just toss it and recreate with a fixed 'git index-pack'. Could anyone having problems fetching from kernel.org with git from the next branch confirm that this also fixes that?
