You have to remove the offending commit also from the reflog.

The following snipped creates an offending commit, big_file is 2GB which is too large for git on windows, and later removes it completely so that git fsck passes again.

----------------------------------- git init echo 1 > some_file git add some_file git commit -m "add some_file" git add big_file git commit -m "add big_file" # reports malloc error without the -q flag git log --stat # malloc error git reset HEAD^1 git fsck --full --strict --verbose # fails git reflog expire --expire=now --all # remove all reflog entries git gc --prune=now git fsck --full --strict --verbose # passes -----------------------------------
