I had no problem updating my system two or three days ago, but today
when I try to update, I get:
Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'...
Auto packing the repository for optimum performance.
See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping.
Enumerating objects: 175170, done.
Counting objects: 100% (175170/175170), done.

fatal: unable to read de2a1e7d166bc5b3508bbe91e7bef61324ac3183
fatal: failed to run repack
!!! git gc error in /var/db/repos/gentoo
The sync for all other repositories is fine, and I get the same using
"eix-sync" "emerge --sync" or "emaint sync"
If I "cd /var/db/repos/gentoo/" and then "git status I get
On branch stable
Your branch and 'origin/stable' have diverged,
and have 1 and 1 different commits each, respectively.
(use "git pull" if you want to integrate the remote branch with
yours)
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Doing "git fsck --full" gives me "missing blob
de2a1e7d166bc5b3508bbe91e7bef61324ac3183:" as well as many dangling
commits.
I'd love to know what happened, but more important is whether there is
a way to recover from this, or should I just remove and re-add the
repository with eselect repository?
