    <p>The other case where I have seen that error message in non-git upload-pack context (as opposed to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/8692934/6309">my previous answer</a>) is in <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/reviewboard-dev/G-A13n3wUEY/COZgjoylUOgJ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this thread</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>GitHub has a bug where, if someone submits a pull request to a project, and then that entry is deleted (I don't know if it's that they just delete a pull request, or they delete their fork/account, but something), then you get these stale references.<br> Somewhere on GitHub, there's a support thread for this.</p> </blockquote> <p>If that <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/2749166/6309">upstream repo</a> you are cloning isn't a Github repo, and if you have access to said upstream repo, then a <a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>git fsck</code></a> or <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/9928789/6309"><code>git fsck --lost-found</code></a> could help.</p> <hr> <p>Since it is a GitHub repo, the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2259237/rderoldan1">OP rderoldan1</a> took the right action and wrote to GitHub support, and reports <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19234581/github-clone-error/19234899?noredirect=1#comment28515793_19234899">in the comments</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>they respond me:<br> "We've found the cause of the problem, and are just working to resolve it.<br> <strong>It appears that the Git repository on the file server has been corrupted and requires a bit of manual wire uncrossing.</strong> Rest assured, our systems team is looking into it, and hope to have an update for you soon." </p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2259237/rderoldan1">rderoldan1</a> reports the result from GitHub:</p> <blockquote> <p>Today 9 oct, <a href="https://github.com/peff" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jeff King</a> send me and email, and now mi git is working :D, here is his message, thanks to @VonC and GitHub staff</p> <p>The problem with your repository is fixed.<br> One of the objects from a pull-request's test-merge was missing on our end, causing git to complain.
