I discovered this problem from investigating the Git console in JetBrains Rider, noticing that it was taking excessively long to create commits. I'm running Git for Windows.
When I run `git gc`, I get this output: Enumerating objects: 152755, done. Counting objects: 100% (152755/152755), done. Delta compression using up to 16 threads Compressing objects: 100% (70481/70481), done. Writing objects: 100% (152755/152755), done. Total 152755 (delta 83181), reused 150956 (delta 81540), pack-reused 0 fatal: could not find pack <packfile.pack> fatal: failed to run repack Steps I have tried (mostly suggested by ChatGPT): - Closing all programs with Git integrations - Hunting down <packfile.pack>; it exists in .git/objects/pack and I have the permissions "Full control", "Modify", "Read & execute", "Read", and "Write" (though not "Special permissions") - Running the command as administrator in case permissions were the issue - Checking for file locks on the packfile - Running `git fsck` on the repository - Running `git gc --no-prune` for testing (still failed) - Checking for Git updates - Restarting my computer Googling (at my level of skill, anyway) isn't finding any help. What can I do? Many thanks! Lyndon Gingerich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
