Subject: Shallow-to-deep conversion error query
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2019 22:38:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAO+szGsZS9CaU4u77pwxwDssHszFeDAshVxLmqJhd3VAR5T=uA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Quick question, hopefully. Have tried searching through my local archive
of the list but didn't find an answer, so fingers crossed this hasn't come
up come up frequently in the past...

So, a fresh shallow clone[1] of Linus' mainline repo followed by
"git fetch --unshallow" results in:

  fatal: error in object: unshallow <sha1>

Re-packing with "git repack -d" sorts it all out, but my question is: is this
a bug, or is it instead down to something like the server-side version of
git that created the pack being outdated or similar?

Cheers,
Francis
