fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees
corruption, git, git-svn, msysgit
Solution
`git svn gc`
(possibly `git gc` and `git prune` before)
Problem
I'm trying to import a large subversion repository into git using git-svn (so that I can work in git but still dcommit to subversion from time to time). After importing more than 4000 revisions I'm now getting the following error whenever I run `git svn fetch` or `git svn rebase`, which I don't manage to get rid of: ``` $ git svn fetch error: invalid object 100644 1f2....742 for 'src/path/.../file.cs' fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees write-tree: command returned error: 128 ``` What I've tried so far: - `git fsck --full` doesn't report anything, neither does `git fsck --unreachable` or `git fsck --no-reflog` - `git gc --aggressive` doesn't help - moving the single pack file away and reimporting it with `git unpack-objects` doesn't help - `git svn reset -rXY` with XY a bit lower than the latest imported revsion doesn't seem to help either, neither does manually removing the latest entries from the `reflog` up to XY. - reboot. Sounds silly, but I did observe some weird issues while importing the first ~4000 revision, as if something was leaking a lot of kernel resources (most likely in windows subsystem), might be related to msys/mingw (or the avira virus scanner, which I disabled for testing). I also didn't find out what error 128 really stands for. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Might be related to this question which is about error 128 as well but with different error messages, and without a solution. msysgit version `1.6.4.msysgit.0` with bash on xp sp3
