Hi, When I follow the instructions from here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/coreutils.html to clone the coreutils git repository I run into an error, here's my terminal output: $ git --version git version 2.12.2 $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils Cloning into 'coreutils'... remote: Counting objects: 169874, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (40066/40066), done. remote: Total 169874 (delta 129539), reused 169765 (delta 129464) Receiving objects: 100% (169874/169874), 31.57 MiB | 4.35 MiB/s, done. error: object a6727941433ee1c91a20ede6cb381af1d18c566d: missingSpaceBeforeDate: invalid author/committer line - missing space before date fatal: Error in object fatal: index-pack failed $ I've tried the clone on 3 different machines all running different versions of git so I'm reasonably confident that the repository corruption is in the upstream repository. I'm no git expert so wont even start to guess how this happened, or how to fix it, but thought I should let you know. Thanks, Andrew
