Missing tags in my local stable git repo

[Steven Rostedt]

Hi Greg,

I'm curious if you are removing tags from your git repo on kernel.org.
I've been getting the following errors on my own repos. I have a
linus.git repo that mirrors, Linus's tree, and a stable.git repo based
off of my linus.git and it clones your stable.git tree on kernel.org.
But recently after daily updates and garbage collections, my work repo
that is based off of my stable.git repo gave me this:

error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.1 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.10 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.11 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.12 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.2 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.3 does not point to a valid object!

error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.8 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.31.9 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.1 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.2 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.3 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.4 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.5 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.6 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/v2.6.33.7 does not point to a valid object!

This repo has the following alternates:

$ cat .git/objects/info/alternates
/home/rostedt/work/git/nobackup/linus.git/objects
/home/rostedt/work/git/nobackup/stable.git/objects


$ cat ~/work/git/nobackup/stable.git/objects/info/alternates 
/home/rostedt/work/git/nobackup/linus.git//objects

And the stable.git remotes look like:

origin  /home/rostedt/work/git/nobackup/linus.git/ (fetch)
origin  /home/rostedt/work/git/nobackup/linus.git/ (push)
stable  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git (fetch)
stable  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git (push)

My linus.git tree is simply a bare tree that mirrors Linus's tree:

origin  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git (fetch)
origin  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git (push)

I have a crontab that updates these every night with a 'git remote
update' and once a week they do a 'git gc' on these repos. I notice the
above issues after the git gc.

I'm not sure where the problem arised, but did you do any cleanups of
tags on the stable git repo?

$ git fetch stable v2.6.33.4 
error: Could not read 15b059e0f9e31f0e7f6b5397368054c005949fea

error: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git did not send all necessary objects


Again, I'm not sure if this is something with me, or something with the
kernel.org stable tree.

Thanks,
