Problem packing repository

[Murphy, John]

I thought I resolved this problem with an upgrade to version
1.6.3.2.306.g4f4fa

I am getting this from git-gc in repositories that alternates:

usage: git-pack-objects [{ -q | --progress | --all-progress }] 
        [--max-pack-size=N] [--local] [--incremental] 
        [--window=N] [--window-memory=N] [--depth=N] 
        [--no-reuse-delta] [--no-reuse-object] [--delta-base-offset] 
        [--threads=N] [--non-empty] [--revs [--unpacked | --all]*]
[--reflog] 
        [--stdout | base-name] [--include-tag] 
        [--keep-unreachable | --unpack-unreachable] 
        [<ref-list | <object-list]


I tried running with GIT_TRACE=2 and I do not see anything glaring.

At first glance it would seem you are running an older version of
the git-pack-objects binary.  Maybe check the system calls with
truss and find out which binary its exec'ing ?

Problem packing repository

[Larry Finger]

For the past 2 weeks, every pull from the mainline kernel repository
has included the following message about "Auto packing" that fails to
complete.

git --version yields "git version 1.6.3.2.198.g6096d"

================================================

Auto packing your repository for optimum performance. You may also
run "git gc" manually. See "git help gc" for more information.

I'm pretty sure that you have inconsistent versions of git in your PATH.
You can use GIT_TRACE=2 to debug this. I think that you should get the
same error if you run 'git gc' manually.

Thanks. My initial git installation came from an openSUSE 11.1
package. I had then pulled the source, deleted the package, then built
and installed the new version. Unfortunately, not everything was
removed, but it is working now.
