This is what I'm (reproducibly) getting if I try to clone QGit's repository: sschuber@xp-sschuber2 ~ $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit4.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/sschuber/qgit4/.git/ remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 2295 objects. remote: Deltifying 2295 objects... remote: 100% (2295/2295) done Indexing 2295 objects... remote: Total 2295 (delta 1793), reused 1218 (delta 955) 100% (2295/2295) done Resolving 1793 deltas... 100% (1793/1793) done : not a valid SHA1b870df7cde1e05ee76d1d15ea428f fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD sschuber@xp-sschuber2 ~ $ git --version git version 1.5.2.2 I'm not sure whether the cause for this is the same as mentioned at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/54825 However, the most recent msysGit worked fine for me. Any clues whether this is a repository problem, a Cygwin problem, or a git problem? Thanks. -- Sebastian Schuberth
