Removing the directory from git/db so that cargo rebuilds it does not seem to help.

That's a weird state for a repository to be in, and I can't reproduce this, short of manually deleting ~/.cargo/git/db/cargo-cache-16826c8e13331adc/refs/heads/master, which I doubt you did.

Weirder still, after removing the directory you should go through a fresh clone, which doesn't go through that part of the funxion at all?

Would you mind posting the packed directory here?

matthiaskrgr commented 4 years ago

You mean an archive of ~/.cargo/git/db/cargo-cache-16826c8e13331adc, right?

cargo-cache-16826c8e13331adc.tar.gz

nabijaczleweli commented 4 years ago

Yeah, that's great! And entirely bizarre.

nabijaczleweli commented 4 years ago

Can you try again with the master branch (at least 988fabea074ee6379b19acab7abf4ad9620d96b4)?

matthiaskrgr commented 4 years ago

Seems to have fixed it, thanks!

nabijaczleweli commented 4 years ago

Released in v4.1.1!
