Hi folks,

We upgraded our servers to Git 1.6.1 yesterday and almost immediately starting hearing reports of "Fatal: Bad Object Error." I have experienced this myself, so I'm 99% certain this isn't user error. I'm also using 1.6.1 locally.

I ran into this error after trying to push code to GitHub after a series of simple commits, I was doing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Please see our support thread for more examples: http://support.github.com/discussions/feature-requests/157-fatal-bad-object-error-when-doing-simple-push

All of the error messages are the same. Can anyone please shed some light on this, I don't see any other recourse but to downgrade Git until this is resolved.

Thanks, PJ
