These errors appear when checking out from one branch to  \nanother or when merging; however doing a \"git fsck --full --strict\" on  \neither the local repository or the remote repository before the  \noperation does not show anything wrong.\n\nThe bare repository is located on a Mac OS X 10.5 PPC server with Git  \n1.5.X.Y (X, Y not known), the local client is Git 1.6.6 installed  \nthrough MacPorts. I am stuck with Git 1.6.6 due to the MacPorts  \narchitecture. Local zlib is 1.2.3_3.\n\nI created a new local repository, reimported the files manually (only  \nthe files, losing all the history in the process), and errors happen  \nagain. The errors seems to appear when Git creates a local pack to  \nstore the object files.\n\nI am now installing Macports git 1.6.6 on the server to do further  \ntesting.\n\nMy questions :\n\n1) is \"git fsck --full --strict\" the most comprehensive check I can do  \non a repository ?\n2) are there known bugs leading to data corruption in the git 1.6.6  \nprerelease and/or zlib 1.2.3_3 ?\n3) is there a verbose flag or a log I can consult (and eventually send  \nto this list) ?\n\nKind regards,\n\nDenis Rosset\n"}]}
