Hi Stefan,

Thank you for the reply, but I don't follow what conclusion you are drawing, if any.

So, is the repos corrupt or not? Also, I don't understand why you say

     There is no file 28/0c... however.

Why would you expect there to be? I don't see it mentioned in that list.

I apologise for my ignorance. I don't really know anything about git. I just happened to encounter this error.
