I now created a repo on a 64 bit system (same command as before), then duplicated it. One copy I applied git gc to on the 64 bit host system, the other copy I gave to my 32 bit virtual machine to apply git gc to it.
The 64 bit host uses git from the Ubuntu repositories, the 32 bit virtual machine uses git 2.9 from github with the patches applied. git gc worked without problems on the host but I got frank@frank-virtual-16-04-32-bit:~/g$ git gc Counting objects: 6, done. Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. error: bad packed object CRC for f595ad71c1a1ecc312ddcb32a84a4bfc4a2ed1c8 Writing objects: 100% (6/6), done.
