Hi all,
over the years I've had the same phenomenon with various versions of msysgit
(now at 1.9.5.msysgit.0, on Windows 7 64bit), so I'm now sufficiently
confident of it being a long-standing, longer-term issue and thus I'm
reporting it now.
Since I'm doing development in a sufficiently rebase-heavy manner,
I seem to aggregate a lot of objects.
Thus, when fetching content I'm sufficiently frequently greeted with
a git gc run.
This, however, does not work fully reliably:
Auto packing the repository for optimum performance. You may also
run "git gc" manually. See "git help gc" for more information.
Counting objects: 206527, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (27430/27430), done.
Writing objects: 100% (206527/206527), done.
Total 206527 (delta 178632), reused 206527 (delta 178632)

Should I try again? (y/n) n

A workable workaround for this recurring issue
(such a fetch will fail repeatedly,
thereby hampering my ability to update properly)
is to manually do a "git gc --auto"
prior to the fetch (which will then succeed).
