Hi

I wonder if someone can help in this error I tried to do git-gc and got error on corrupted object. 

I do the following:

$ git-gc Generating pack... Done counting 3037 objects. Deltifying 3037 objects... error: corrupt loose object '4b9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc06200' fatal: object 4b9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc06200 cannot be read error: failed to run repack

sleybo@SLEYBO-LT /w/work/EMC/ib.071030.001/ib/.git/objects/4b $ git-fsck-objects.exe 9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc06200 error: corrupt loose object '4b9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc06200' error: 4b9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc06200: object corrupt or missing error: invalid parameter: expected sha1, got '9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc0 6200' missing blob 4b9458b3786228369c63936db65827de3cc06200

Unfortunately I can't get this object from backup directories as advise in the FAQ. Can this object manually fixed by any tool? (the object is attached) I don't even know to which file/tree/commit it belong how can I know that ?

Thanks Yossi
