reporting the attached bug:
Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. Continually hitting a oack-objects error when fetching tags in my repo. This occurs in CI during critical jobs. The issues is flaky but leads to an unreliable system. The Error: ERROR: Failed to fetch git tags from origin! Stdout: Stderr: BUG: builtin/pack-objects.c:4310: should_include_obj should only be called on existing objects error: pack-objects died of signal 6 fatal: could not finish pack-objects to repack local links fatal: index-pack failed What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) ran the following: git fetch origin refs/tags/<version-identified>.*refs/tags/<version-identifier.* What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) tags to be fetched to the CI machine running this command What happened instead? (Actual behavior) error above was thrown causing the job to fail What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? pretty simple...we expect the fetch to work as expected Anything else you want to add: we are pretty sure retries will resovle the issue but that shouldn't bne necessary. we upgraded git from version 2.47.0 -> 2.49.0 and then started seeing the issue so we believe this is a low level git issue itself and not our use of git in our repo Please review the rest of the bug report below.
