I'm a heavy user of git-svn and experience an issue with one specific (git-svn) repository: 'git fsck' reports a corrupt packfile after every checkout.
Now I'm totally puzzled about the cause and what do about it. This is what I do:
git svn init -s http://svn.foo.com/myproject myproject.git
cd myproject.git
git svn fetch # Much more reliable than 'git-svn clone'This checks out ~2100 commits and executes 2 git-gc during checkout. The final .git repo size is about 940MB. Then I run
git fsck
➜ myproject.git git:(master) git fsck Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. error: packed 0f5f33639bfc1a781fe080c31a1f076d9a25c1d3 from .git/objects/pack/pack-6a6f5355584a5d71215d5fc867ce09602ceab533.pack is corrupt *** glibc detected *** git: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f46a09e9010 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x7eb96)[0x7f46d9ebab96] git[0x4ddf46] git[0x4b4123] git[0x431524] git[0x405ce8] git[0x4050e2] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xed)[0x7f46d9e5d76d] git[0x405529] ======= Memory map: ======== 00400000-0055f000 r-xp 00000000 fc:01 12452043 /usr/bin/git 0075e000-0075f000 r--p 0015e000 fc:01 12452043 /usr/bin/git

This only affects this very particular git-svn repo (and I have dozens of them). The error happens reproducible on every fresh checkout as described above. The backtrace does not appear always. The object is a very large blob
