I am facing the error

remote: Counting objects: 879862, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (156686/156686), done. fatal: pack has bad object at offset 77100841: inflate returned -3 fatal: index-pack failed

while doing "git clone" of linux kernel of latest 2.6.27-rc2. But am able to do the latest stable successfully.

Could you help me out in get rid off the problem. And am new to git usage, so correct me if am doing any wrong.

I am using cygwin, git 1.5.6.4

best regards, srinivas.

Where are you cloning from?

This is an indication that the data sent to your system from the remote side is corrupt. Possibly a bad network link?

Remote side corruption should have been detected by the remote server as it was writing the data out. The message above however came from your client, so the server seems to be OK.

I am gone to the site: http://www.kernel.org

from this place http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=summary

trying out, for 2.6.27-rc2 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

which is causing the problem,

But, from the place, http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Fstable%2Flinux-2.6.26.y.git;a=summary trying for stable. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git is working fine...

Could any possible clue from this...

best regards, srinivas.

Well, not exactly. The server (git pack-objects) does skip some data integrity validation that the client (git index-pack) is doing anyway in order to cut cycles on the server machine.
