git error fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Question

I have been trying to clone the aosp repo, it worked fine last week but hasn't been for the last two days. I narrowed it down to the deqp dependecy. With the however I got multiple errors but always resulting in "fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output". Last try resulted in this:

   /run/me/j/d/a/deqp    master  git config http.postBuffer 524288000
   /run/me/j/d/a/deqp    master  git fetch --unshallow               ✔ 
remote: Finding sources: 100% (126764/126764)

error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check)
fatal: serious inflate inconsistency
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

I also encountered this problem on macOS Big Sur 11.6.1, and I run ulimit -n unlimited and ulimit -f unlimited to resolve this. Increase the value of packedGitLimit or packedGitWindowSize and packSizeLimit on gitconfig did not work for me.

Answer 2

If the proj is too big, try using --depth=1 to solve.
