Git: remote error packfile

Question

Hi all,

I've created a Git app for my Git repositories on my Webfaction account and created this Git post-receive hook:

#!/bin/sh
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/myaccount/webapps/myapp git checkout -f
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/myaccount/webapps/myapp git reset --hard

Which works, most of the time, fine. Sometimes, after pushing changes from my PC or laptop, I get this error:

remote: error: packfile ./objects/pack/pack-a33876434c44b530fedf8ff0b2132c8de895 e132.pack cannot be accessed

The commit(s) are successfully pushed, but the post-receive hook is not being executed. Any idea what causes this error (and how to fix it)? I've recreated the git repo several times and then it works, but after a while (a few hours / days / commits) the error is back.

Thanks.

Try running git-fsck on the repo to check for corruption.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I already tried that.

Would it be possible to run the action with increased verbosity and submit the report as a support ticket so we can take a closer look?
