Hi!
I have done the following operations on my git repository...

duncan@firebird /var/git $ GIT_DIR=/var/git/myproject.git git fsck-objects duncan@firebird /var/git $ GIT_DIR=/var/git/myproject.git git prune duncan@firebird /var/git $ GIT_DIR=/var/git/myproject.git git count-objects 42 objects, 616 kilobytes duncan@firebird /var/git $ GIT_DIR=/var/git/myproject.git git repack Packing 42 objects Pack pack-d715ebdf63391b054d9f058d59d3d3a4f6f2a12c created. error: unrecognized:

The last one throws 'error: unrecognized:' - what does this mean?
Under which circumstances is this error message fired?
Did my git repository get corrupted?
...and 'HAPPY HOLIDAYS' to all of you!
