I was just about to push out a branch to a remote repo, and got a
quite worrying error message:

$ git push kusma work/git-svn-autocrlf
Counting objects: 3475, done.

 ! [remote rejected] work/git-svn-autocrlf -> work/git-svn-autocrlf (bad pack)
error: failed to push some refs to
'ssh://kusma@repo.or.cz/srv/git/git/kusma.git'

The push was attempted with git v1.7.0.rc2. It fails with v1.6.6.1
(and msysgit's devel-branch, 1.6.5.1.1375.gc836) as well.

I tried running "git fsck --full", but it didn't report anything apart
from dangling objects.

Any ideas, anyone?

I tried doing the same again today, and it worked just fine. Perhaps
it was just some glitch at the other end?
