The repo is linux-2.6. I get this when doing git log, git annotate, etc:

error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect header check) error: failed to read object d5e57db2bfd773611e2b77b4bbe6d89ba8449b45 at offset fatal: object d5e57db2bfd773611e2b77b4bbe6d89ba8449b45 is corrupted

What's the best way to fix this without cloning new and fetching local heads over to the new repo?

I'd like to fix this in the current repo I'm using.

Thanks,
   Luben
