I'm not sure if this is a problem in git or in sshfs (or somewhere else). Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks, -- Jhair ``` ## Shawn O.

Its the size of the fetch. The day before you probably had a smaller number of objects downloaded (<100) so Git used unpack-objects instead of index-pack. Yesterday it was a larger download (>100), so it used index-pack. In 1.6.0.2 index-pack writes a temporary file to .git/objects but later tries to rename it into .git/objects/pack. That renaming must not be working on sshfs. Latest "master" has a change from Pasky (8b4eb6b6 "Do not perform cross-directory renames") that should fix this issue. Or just don't use sshfs. Or teach sshfs to rename across directories. -- Shawn. ``` ## Nathan W.

I also mount with the same option (-o workaround=rename) to fix other issues I had before, see http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-c04838bdb94dae45b743fe6ebefde24e4df04c62 Will try with latest gist "master" as advised by Shawn.
