Hi
I'm getting this when running git fsck or git repack against a large (21G) repo which was created from subversion using git svn clone:
fatal: failed to apply delta
The debugging patch below indicates that this repo fails the sanity check for the size in patch_delta(). With this patch applied I'm getting the following additional output
error: bad delta header size, expected: 236, have 1994568
This is 100% reproducible. I'm using the git master branch as of today (5ae0f681) but the same problem showed up also with an older git version.
Does anybody know what's going on here?
Thanks Andre ---
