I am trying to clone a git repository from the gerrit system, but I encounter an error given below.

$ git clone ssh://gerrit.codereview.com:29418/repo/abc
Cloning into 'abc'...
remote: Counting objects: 109851, done

This issue persists across multiple systems. Can you please suggest a solution?

  • Check if somenthing gone wrong with git reflog Commented Oct 15, 2024 at 10:09
  • From gerrit server side git reflog didn't return anything. Commented Oct 15, 2024 at 10:11
  • after the clone - is it possible to call git commands in the abc folder, like git fetch, git checkout? Commented Oct 15, 2024 at 12:19
  • @laplasz clone in between it fails with above errors. So after that no abc repository folder available in my local path. Commented Oct 15, 2024 at 13:39
  • This error could be due to master branch corruption; you could try downloading a different branch, like this: git clone ssh://gerrit.codereview.com:29418/repo/abc --branch another-branch and if download will be successful - you can investigate what happens with the master.
