Hi all,
(please cc me on response)
I am facing error during git status & git fsck on my tree.
This tree is cloned from various linux kernel trees.
Here are a sample of the error I see :
$ git fsck

What can I do to recover my git archive ?
Did I do something wrong (merging files while fetching) ?
Is it related to a known issue (I cannot figure out if it is
after some googling) ?
Thanks for your help. Regards,

Unlikely.

OK. Since this is not bleeding edge, it is pretty unlikely that the
corruption is due to git itself. Furthermore, the git packs are always
read only once they've been created, meaning that if they weren't
corrupted at some point then something outside of git caused the
corruption. You really should consider the possible causes for that
(dying disk, pilot error, etc).
As to recovery... That really depends if you have personal work
committed to your repository. If not then the easiest solution is
simply to recreate it by refetching from upstream. If you have
personal work in there then you could try to fetch your work branch into
the newly created repository. The latest git version could help with
the extraction of non-corrupted objects out of a bad pack, but if the
objects you are interested in are themselves corrupted then your only
hope is to have a copy of those objects somewhere else.

Nicolas,
Thanks for your help. I will consider migrating to a brand new git tree
with my work imported in (it seems that my local work is not affected).
Just to know, as the object I try to access is not present, is there a
way to rebuild the index to match this mater of fact ?
Regards,
