$GIT_DIR=. git-fsck-objects --full error: Packfile ./objects/pack/pack-8cafdff4eb66bb2219016e4c0817cdb5cb326ab6.pack SHA1 mismatch with itself fatal: unknown object type 0 in ./objects/pack/pack-8cafdff4eb66bb2219016e4c0817cdb5cb326ab6.pack

So,... anyone seen this?

Is there a way to fix it, other than blowing away the repo and recreating it?

Thanks,
   Luben

Nothing rings a bell other than:

    pack-check.c::verify_packfile(): don't run SHA-1 update on huge data

which is in 1.4.4.4. 'master' has an equilvalent due to the use of sliding mmap.
