Hi all.
I'm only just getting around to checking out the Noether release of ET, and I'm hitting a problem I haven't seen before. All the Git-hosted arrangements are failing on checkout, because "fatal: index-pack failed". Has anyone seen this? A tiny bit of Googling indicates this might be a server-side issue, rather than on my client's end, but since this involves at least two different serves, I suspect the problem is on my end.
Can anyone help/advise? The version of Git installed on this machine is "1.8.5.2".
Thanks,
Bernard
P.S. I ran again with --verbose (and without --parallel), but it wasn't much more informative.

My first guess would be a problem with that version/installation of git. Did you compile it yourself? Are updates available? Did you recently update either git or openssl? What kind of system/OS is this? Do other versions of git work?

Hi Frank.
Good questions, and I was going to give you a detailed answer (remote SLES cluster; only one older version of Git available, etc.), but then the problem went away. That is, I switched to the only older version of Git available (1.7.3.4), checked it all out OK, and then switched back to 1.8.5.2, where everything worked again.
So I don't know if it was a temporary Git server issue on ET's end, or something that got "refreshed" at my end by switching Git modules, but the problem's gone away. I think.
Thanks for your help, anyway,
Bernard
