git repository failed to traverse parent error

Question

I am a newcomer to git and was quite happy until this evening. I have been committing changes regularly. I maintain two remotes on unfuddle and beanstalk and a local filesystem

Answer 1

"Dangling" objects may not be a problem. It could just mean that you've done some resetting, rebasing, and/or deleted branches that weren't fully merged. "Missing", on the other hand, is more serious, I believe. Take a look at this article on repairing a damaged repo. That might help you out. You could also try upgrading git if you're out of date. A newer version might be a little smarter.
