I had no problem updating my system two or three days ago, but today
when I try to update, I get:

Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'...

Auto packing the repository for optimum performance.
See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping.
Enumerating objects: 175170, done.
Counting objects: 100% (175170/175170), done.
Delta compression using up to 16 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (128856/128856), done.
fatal: unable to read de2a1e7d166bc5b3508bbe91e7bef61324ac3183
fatal: failed to run repack
!!! git gc error in /var/db/repos/gentoo

The sync for all other repositories is fine, and I get the same using "eix-sync" "emerge --sync" or "emaint sync"

If I "cd /var/db/repos/gentoo/" and then "git status I get

On branch stable
Your branch and 'origin/stable' have diverged,
and have 1 and 1 different commits each, respectively.
(use "git pull" if you want to integrate the remote branch with
yours)

nothing to commit, working tree clean

Doing "git fsck --full" gives me "missing blob de2a1e7d166bc5b3508bbe91e7bef61324ac3183:" as well as many dangling
commits.

I'd love to know what happened, but more important is whether there is
a way to recover from this, or should I just remove and re-add the
repository with eselect repository?

Hi,

I am no portage expert but wouldn't
wouldn't
# emerge-webrsync
help here?

If that does not work I would hard reset the branch to HEAD~n commits (until branches converge) and sync again.

Unfortunately no, it doesn't work because the sync type is git, not
rsync or webrsync.

If that does not work I would hard reset the branch to HEAD~n commits (until branches converge) and sync again.

It's a shallow clone, and git log shows only one commit (from today) so
I'm not sure, but I've now got "git status" showing no problems, but
another sync gives the same error again. For now, I'll wait until I'm
sure there are new commits to the tree and try again then (or tomorrow.)
