Hi,
my auto gc kicked in, and shows this:

fatal: corrupt packed object for 2c1e128aa51e3a64bd61556c0cd488628b423ccf error: failed to run repack

Fortunately, I have the uncorrupted object somewhere else. So I copy the single object as a loose one, and all is fine. Right?

Wrong.

Repack still picks up the corrupt object instead of the good one. What's the best way out?

Ciao, Dscho
