Hi all,

I'm a new git user (actually a darcs convert) and am running into a weird
problem on a small and simple repository.  The error I see is:

    git[14] > git clone /Volumes/work/scripts/
    Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git/scripts/.git/
    remote: Generating pack...
    Done counting 80 objects.
    remote: error: unable to unpack b28b949a1a3c8eb37ca6eefd024508fa8b253429
header
    fatal: unable to get type of object b28b949a1a3c8eb37ca6error:
git-upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
    fatal: git-upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption
on the remote side.
    remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote
side.
    fatal: early EOF
    fatal: index-pack died with error code 128
    fetch-pack from '/Volumes/work/scripts/.git' failed.

I have many git repos on my system (one for configuration files, one for
scripts, various school projects, etc.) and this is the only one that has
been problematic thus far.  As you can see I am trying to clone a local repo
-- there should be no network problems here.  As I said, the repo is small:

    scripts[19] > find . -type f | wc -l
    118

(which of course includes all of git's files.)

$ git --version
git version 1.5.2.4

I have little experience with git, but if you need any more info, let me
know.  Any suggestion on what might be the problem, and how to fix it?
