Thanks in advance. At the point you see that message, git has received the whole contents from the remote side and written them to disk. It's then trying to read back the data it just wrote to do some checks on it. However, your filesystem has reported a low-level I/O error, which may indicate a disk problem or filesystem corruption. Is it possible that your disk is dying? -Peff
