It's likely that your local git is not aware of packs v2 which is now default. You want to upgrade your local git, if you're on Debian etch, updates have been pushed in the last dot release. Or you can even use git-core from backports.org which is even more up to date (1.6.sth I guess). -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org ``` ## Peter Teoh, 2008-11-03 23:47 Subject: Re: error: non-monotonic index Message-ID: <804dabb00811031547kee54cap104ef639213cf161@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/804dabb00811031547kee54cap104ef639213cf161%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20081103085105.GA13930@artemis.corp> ``` Thank you Pierre, I installed a new copy, now seemingly working, thanks a lot!!!
