Cloning them locally, on Debian, or on Mac OS X, works without a hitch. Cloning them remotely from a Mac OS X repo server to a Mac OS X client computer also works as expected, as does cloning repos without submodules. But as soon as a clone of a git repo containing a submodule on the Debian machine is attempted from another computer, this happens: > error: git-upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. > fatal: git-upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository > corruption on the remote side. > remote: Generating pack... > remote: Done counting 7 objects. > remote: error: unable to find > 4d5436979e0afc1e9c03dceeeea3c2ddb9dbf211remote: > remote: fatal: unable to get type of object > 4d5436979e0afc1e9c03dceeeea3c2ddb9dbf211 > remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote > side. > fatal: early EOF > fatal: index-pack failed However, git fsck reports no errors. The git version is the latest published one, 1.5.5.1, installed from source (not via apt-get), and configured only with ./configure -- prefix=/usr/local Googling for info about git submodule and corrupted repos yields absolutely nothing. Any ideas, anyone? / Peter Bengtson
