Hi all,
I have an issue cloning a repository's master branch on any new machine.
Machines that had an old clone of the same repository have no problem with
the master branch.
When cloning, I get the fatal error "Trying to write ref refs/heads/master
with nonexistant object 38eca7173be01a36ef03ebcf75732eba32e4038d" and git
immediately deletes the target directory of the clone. However, all objects
seem to be transmitted:
remote: Counting objects: 45900, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (14129/14129), done.
remote: Total 45900 (delta 30836), reused 44791 (delta 30042)
Receiving objects: 100% (45900/45900), 52.81 MiB | 18.27 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (30836/30836), done.
error: refs/remotes/origin/master does not point to a valid object!
error: Trying to write ref refs/heads/master with nonexistant object
38eca7173be01a36ef03ebcf75732eba32e4038d
fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'.
And when we look at the repository on the server, the object is there:

ApiGen: No need to check for new versions.
The git version on the server is 1.7.10.4, the client has 1.7.2.5, both on
Debian. We use gitolite 2.3 for those repositories, from Debian wheezy. We
haven't had issues like this on either GitHub or with plain SSH-based repos
(as in, no gitolite), so this might in fact be a gitolite issue, but
perhaps there is something obvious I'm missing?
Cheers,
Ramón
