Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2011-06-29 15:24:04 EDT 
e4 builds are failing because of a failure fetching from git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.e4.search.git

I am unable to clone from this URL:
git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.e4.search.git
Cloning into org.eclipse.e4.search...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I have no problems with other colocated repos like git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.e4.deeplink.git
Comment 1 Andrew Niefer CLA 2011-06-29 15:25:00 EDT 
The build failure message is the same:
GitUpdateLocalRepo:
     [echo] [GIT] /shared/eclipse/e4/build/e4/downloads/drops/4.0.0/scmCache/git___git_eclipse_org_gitroot_e4_org_eclipse_e4_search_git >> git fetch
     [exec] fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Comment 2 Paul Webster CLA 2011-06-29 15:26:22 EDT 
This has blocked our 4.1/e4 0.12 builds.

git-daemon[28116]: fatal: object 4098cf88f8176679a116cfeb2109359fe34a0491 is corrupted

Can you tell me of any recent pushes and/or commits that would have caused this?

http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.search.git/commit/?id=4098cf88f8176679a116cfeb2109359fe34a0491

is the only recent commit, I don't see anything bad about it.
Comment 5 Denis Roy CLA 2011-06-29 15:43:46 EDT 
Linus himself seems to suggest we find a non-corrupt copy of that object and plop it on-top of the 'corrupt' one.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/recover-corrupted-blob-object.txt

Can anyone attach a new object to this bug?
Comment 6 Paul Webster CLA 2011-06-29 15:57:57 EDT 
Dimitar do you have a copy of the object in question in your local repo?

My local .git folder

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't check my mail after 7:00 CET.
Here is a complete copy of my .git folder. Besides the commit in question it has a tag for it, that has also been pushed.

This commit was problematic in that i was not able to push it initially. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349866
I have no idea though if the two bugs relate.

Cheers, Dimitar
Comment 8 Denis Roy CLA 2011-06-30 09:53:56 EDT 
Yep, that did it; thanks.  The repo clones cleanly now.

FWIW, when looking at an object hash, the two first characters of the has are the directory in the objects/ directory.

hash 4098cf88f8176679a116cfeb2109359fe34a0491 =
./objects/40/98cf88f8176679a116cfeb2109359fe34a0491
