Git Error: unable to find

Question

error: Unable to find a47058d09b4ca436d65609758a9dba52235a75bd under http://mywe         


        

Answer 1

copy objects from your directory (.git/objects) and other people that work on a clone of this repo. One object got zapped so this should fix it.

Here is more about moving objects around: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ch08.html#_the_object_database

Answer 2

Like Adam said, recover the object frmo another repository/clone.

Don't forget to take into account packs. So, a more generalized procedure is this:

On a 'complete' git database

git cat-file -p a47058d09b4ca436d65609758a9dba52235a75bd > tempfile

and on the receiving end

git hash-object -w tempfile
