Hello,

          I have faced a git bug. When I try to clone a git repo it 
shows an error "protocol error: bad pack header".

          This is the full error message which I got while cloning git 
project :

Clone: protocol error: bad pack header
     $ git clone -v --progress 
http://dev.galaxylipl.com:88/galaxygit/privatenovator.git 
/home/lipl/privateschoolinnovator
     Cloning into '/home/lipl/privatenovator'...
     POST git-upload-pack (190 bytes)
     remote: error: Could not read e9a6c4c684a5e8758026e8b0e25867c03332fe7c
     remote: fatal: bad tree object 
e9a6c4c684a5e8758026e8b0e25867c03332fe7c
     remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the 
remote side.
     protocol error: bad pack header

I tried everything to resolve this error, I have run some commands on 
server side like :

# git fsck
# git-fsck --full
# git fsck --lost-found
# git repack
# git gc

         But nothing worked for me and the error is still same. I tried 
to find the corrupt file but I was unable to find.

         Please check this issue and provide me proper solution for this.

Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Dadgas

This indicates some sort of corruption between the client and server.  I
notice you're cloning over HTTP.  Are you using a proxy?  Can you try
using a git, ssh, or https (without MITM) URL?  Sometimes broken proxies
can end up corrupting data.

Also, what version of git are you using on the client and the server?
