Subject: should git download missing objects?
Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2006 15:44:25 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ej7fgp$8ca$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi,

I did an initial clone of Linus' linux-2.6.git tree, via the git protocol,
and then managed to accidently delete one of the .pack and
corresponding .idx files.

I thought that 'cg-fetch' would do the job of bring down the missing pack
again, and all would be well. Alas this isn't the case.

<http://pastebin.ca/246678>

Pasky, on IRC, indicated that this might be because git-fetch-pack isn't
downloading missing objects when the git:// protocol is being used.

Should it? Is there a magic invocation of git fetch I can use to fix this
up. I can always re-clone completely (since this is just a tracking repo)
but it would be nice to fix this with the tools themselves.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Anand
