Dear diary, on Mon, Oct 17, 2005 at 09:06:10PM CEST, I got a letter where Horst von Brand <vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl> told me that...

> git, cogito up to date everywhere.

Does that mean the latest development trees or the latest release vesions? If the latter, could you try the former, please?

Well, can you repeat the bug using git pull? (Try just "git pull".) If so, and if you will slightly modify the subject in your reply, you should hopefully get some interested debuggers who know this stuff better. ;-) But I've seen those reports before, and it seems something is rotten in the realm of fetching...

This might be because of the interrupted merge - if it says the "recovering" message, it will try to make sure you really have all the objects, and depending on your exact git version, I can imagine it might re-fetch some of them for some reason.
