How to fix "failed to load commit history" error? #101

Closed LuisAbacus closed 10 years ago

LuisAbacus commented 10 years ago

I'm new to GitHub. I had setup my repository and it was all working nicely, until I had the misfortune of clicking the Sync button and GitHub crashed. After it restarted itself, every time I try to see my repo (local or remote), I get the message:

Loading commits failed Fail to load commit history for this repository. You might need to open a shell and debug the stat of this repo.

I've been mostly using the shell to commit, push and pull code and all is fine there. I just don't know what to do to to get rid of that error and have GitHub work again. I even uninstalled and removed all traces of GitHub folder, but it was for naught. I'd appreciate guidance on this problem.
