Hi,

I've recently updated from 1.6.1.2 to 1.6.3.1 on OS X. And after that transition I get this:

  error: bad index file sha1 signature
  fatal: index file corrupt

on any git command I invoke in any of my repositories. I even tried to go back to 1.6.1.2 but the error still occurs.

Is there any thing I can do to fix this? Would be great, otherwise all my local repositories are busted :/

Thank you a lot for your help in advance!
