Not a self-contained reproduction test, but at least it shows the problem with a public repo. Assuming you have no refs referencing a0325eb^ In a clone of git.git add to .git/info/grafts: a0325eb2e982e25376e4cb89ebcac5d8d703548d 604dd0a0782b3e33bcc397c27e811ebc019c9f5a Then: git reflog expire --expire=0 --all git repack -ad rm .git/info/grafts git repack -ad The second repack wrecks the repo: doener@atjola:git2 (master) $ cp /home/doener/grafts .git/info/ doener@atjola:git2 (master) $ git reflog expire --expire=0 --all doener@atjola:git2 (master) $ git repack -ad Counting objects: 92161, done.

[dozens of more broken refs] Note how in the second repack, the walking machniery finds only 3195 objects, as opposed to more than 92k before.
