bug#65241: 30.0.50; Cannot clone NonGNU ELPA

[Manuel Uberti via "Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors" <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

Hi,

I am trying to clone the NonGNU ELPA repository in order to contribute
with a patch, but this is what happens:

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/nongnu.git
Cloning into 'nongnu'...
remote: Counting objects: 425227, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (145570/145570), done.
error: object 2699d230e3b592ae42506d7b5c969a7ac6a4593c: zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes
fatal: fsck error in packed object
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output


All the best
Manuel
