FWIW, I maintain (what are referred to later in the thread as) "personal mirrors" (as I had with SVN, and CVS before that). And after having done so with git for a couple of years (? or so), I suddenly started getting some errors -- I don't recall whether they were what you report or not (I'm just back home after a couple of weeks 9 hours east of home, so my brain is less functional than ususal), but I had received a recommendation to run git maintenance run and git gc on my repos. Doing that appeared to prevent a recurrence of the issue, so I set up a cron task to do that on each repo every week. (Since the most critical time for me is the weekend, I do this in the "wee small hours" of Thursday morning -- which should allow me time to take evasive action (e.g., on Thursday or Friday) should something Go Wrong.) Looks as if I set this up back near the end of January; no issues with it so far since then. I scribbled some notes on how I do that at https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/repo-sync.html -- in case that might be of interest or use. Peace, david --=20 David H.
