git pull thrown error in windows from git bash "index-pack failed"

Question

Previously I can pull from this repository but recently I got this error

machine@bj ~/Desktop/rails-master (master) $ git remote add origin https://github.com/rails/rails machine@bj ~/Desktop/rails-master (master) $ git pull origin master remote: Counting objects: 325661, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (86702/86702), done. effatal: early EOF 30% (97699/325661), 17.14 MiB | 861.00 KiB/s error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: index-pack failed

I searched in google and other place but did not get any kind of suitable help

Please suggest me... any kind of help will be appreciable....

Thanks

Sounds like an error generated by Github. What happens if you try again? — Greg Hewgill

On Windows, I can clone the repo without issue:

C:\Documents and Settings\VonC\prog\git>git clone https://github.com/rails/rails Cloning into 'rails'... remote: Counting objects: 381705, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (96211/96211), done. remote: Total 381705 (delta 293367), reused 368694 (delta 282130) Receiving objects: 100% (381705/381705), 57.17 MiB | 587.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (293367/293367), done. Checking out files: 100% (2715/2715), done.

On linux, it seems to work too, except for the very end:

[ VonC,[email protected] for github.com ] Cloning into 'rails'... remote: Counting objects: 381705, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (96211/96211), done. remote: Total 381705 (delta 293367), reused 368694 (delta 282130) Receiving objects: 100% (381705/381705), 57.17 MiB | 655.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (293367/293367), done. Checking connectivity... done error: git-remote-https died of signal 13

So try to:

clone it in a new folder to check if that works better
make sure to use the latest git version possible

I deleted the folder and again started to clone it from first...it worked thank you...
But you know I got this error again if i try to do it......sometimes I got error sometimes it works.....
@RajarshiDas looks the right version. At least, once you have clone it, the git pull should work.
