Hi everyone , I’m using Gitea for my company in a while now , my users can clone the repo normally before that , ( I’m also a newbie for Git )

but for now the problem that I found in a week ago , it has one repo that we can’t clone it the problem that we found is

> fatal: pack has bad object at offset 10642840172: inflate returned -5  
> fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

the solution that I already did from Git side

> git config --global pack.windowMemory “100m”  
> git config --global pack.packSizeLimit “100m”  
> git config --global pack.threads “1”  
> git config --global pack.deltaCacheSize “512m”  
> git config --global http.postBuffer 20000000000

From Gitea site that I add on .gitconfig // configfile

[pack]  
windowMemory = 100m  
SizeLimit = 100m  
threads = 1

all this above solution can’t resolve my problem ,  
and I can’t clone with “–depth=1” for some reason ,but before that It can clone normally not sure what going on here , so if anyone has familiar problem and can resolve please give me some clue or solution , Thank you .
