git clone error : fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side

I am having read/write access to a git repo but when I try to git clone I am getting the following error:

x@ubuntu:~/temp$ git clone [email protected]:Corp/app.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/x/temp/app/.git/
remote: error: Could not read 987324d3bf2dfbbfaf538978aa71521f20567a8
remote: fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit 09637dac56d440b0e079b0504dbeef3c78815379
error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
x@ubuntu:~/temp$

What could be the problem? How to confirm remote repo is really corrupt?

This can be due to a temporary issue on GitHub side, as it was the case in this GitHub ticket.

The GitHub site status page reported such an issue 5 days ago. Maybe your repo suffers from a side-effect of that incident?

In the meantime, check if you cannot load an archive from this repository: see " All of your downloads. One big button."

download button

That won't give you a repo, but at least an image of the project form which you can work from.
