Hi,

The repository on my OS X machine (10.5.5) seems to have been suddenly become corrupted in a strange way.

Everything seems to be working properly there (git fsck --full returns normally with no output), but I cannot clone or pull from my other machines:

(iduna is the name of the OS X machine) [francois@monch ~]$ git clone iduna:git iduna2 Initialized empty Git repository in /bioinfo/home/francois/iduna2/.git/ Password: error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. remote: fatal: exec pack-objects failed. remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

I have the same issue from the same machine: [francois@Iduna ~]$ git clone localhost:git git2 Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/francois/git2/.git/ remote: fatal: exec pack-objects failed. error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

But not if I just do it locally: [francois@Iduna ~]$ git clone git git2 Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/francois/git2/.git/ Checking out files: 2% (140/5273) [I cancelled it at this point]

I am running git 1.6.0.2 on the mac, and have only recently updated it so that might have a role to play.

Any suggestion would be welcome to fix this issue, and I'll be more than happy to provide whatever more information could useful.
