[U-Boot] git fsck errors with u-boot
Hello,
Since git 2.1, there have been a number of new fsck options added which produce issues when I clone & fsck the repository git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
$ git fsck --full Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. error in tag eb394f56db3e05d00891d6dc36a00df0025cf255: unterminated header error in tag 9bf86baaa3b35b25baa2d664e2f7f6cafad689ee: unterminated header error in tag c7071e6d645a8e13adb0d4cea2caad27213fa62f: unterminated header Checking objects: 100% (325719/325719), done. Checking connectivity: 325719, done.
These new tests are enabled by default when using git fsck. I have been testing with git version 2.4.4.409.g5b1d901 and thought you might want to know so the error messages can be corrected.
I think these issues were already reported here: https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg175411.html but were not reproducible. Can you see if they can be reproduced using a newer git (2.4 or 2.3) and git fsck --full ?
Thanks, Liam

Indeed these have been reported before - see the full thread at [1]

To summarize: there is no problem with the U-Boot repository, but a false positive in git; the git folks are working on it, and it will problebly be fixed in later versions of git. There is no need for any action on our side.
Best regards,

Any ideas? (I take it that it may be a two-pass sort of solution). In the first pass, install perl. :-) Larry Wall 6849@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV
