Hello,
I'm getting an error when I try to clone a git repo:

$ git clone ~dab143/src/OVER-REL/SOURCE-GIT-TEST OVER-REL Initialized empty Git repository in /home/cfr100/OVER-REL/.git/ cpio: objects/pack/pack-80a0460fc07be5e0628b02549fdaa186b792d3f3.keep: Permission denied 888 blocks

# cat pack-80a0460fc07be5e0628b02549fdaa186b792d3f3.keep fetch-pack 31620 on githost.arl.psu.edu

Permission on the keep file are 600. Of course this looks like a stale lock of some sort.

We are using git version 1.5.4.1. The owner of the repository had pushed changes to it from msysgit under Windows. I am not sure of the version. It worked fine before that.

Is this an issue I should take up with the msysgit developers?

Once in this state what is the best way to resolve it and verify the integrity of the repository?

Thanks Chuck
