[OpenAFS-devel] Re: https git access at git.openafs.org is broken

[Benjamin Kaduk]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for pointing this out.

It looks like one (the oldest one, as it happens) of the packfiles in that
repo got corrupted.  While manual git operations in the repo could find the
objects in question, `git verify-pack` reported the same bug that you
report.

I ended up just recreating that repository and merging a commit from gerrit
to trigger (full) replication.  Cloning seems to work now, but please let
me know if something still seems awry.

Thanks,

Ben
