Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

I was committing some small changes to a file when I got this error (copy/pasted from the Eclipse Error Log view)

Failed to update HEAD to commit AnyObjectId[97a5fd97a6db673246e92075ead6c116baa176fd].


I have EGit 0.9.3 installed from this source : http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates/

My project was almost new, around 15 commits. Note that my project name contain an accented letter "é", could be related?

The commit history is not available with TortoiseGit neither but if I manually open in a text editor the file .git/logs/HEAD, I can still see the complete commit history.

Now, all my files (classes, jars, etc) are seen as new files and EGit ask me to add them (again).

I'm haven't been able to reproduce it yet.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Can't do anything with this info and it applies to a very old version
