I think the problem is on Git side: it should be a warning rather than an error (AFAICT, `git fsck` flagged the problem as a mere warning). And indeed, when I try it now, I don't get an error any more, so maybe it's been fixed in more recent versions of Git? When you try git -c 'Transfer.fsckObjects=true' clone https://github.com/defunkt/coffee-mode do you get an error or a warning? I get a warning here with Git-2.39.2 from Debian stable. Stefan
