Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce his problem (which is a problem in itself) but I did run into another oddity: : hera 4 ; git fsck [lots of dangling commits deleted] missing blob af0e01d4c663a101f48614e40d006ed6272d5c36 : hera 5 ; git cat-file blob af0e01d4c663a101f48614e40d006ed6272d5c36 /* * debugfs.h - a tiny little debug file system * * Copyright (C) 2004 Greg Kroah-Hartman * Copyright (C) 2004 IBM Inc. * [... rest of blob deleted ...] Okay, what is going on here? Since git 1.6.1.1 just got installed on kernel.org, this phenomenon (and hopefully Ingo's problem, too) maybe has something to do with this new version? -hpa -- H.
