Hello,

Since git 2.1, there have been a number of new fsck options added which
produce issues when I clone & fsck the repository
git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

$ git fsck --full
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error in tag eb394f56db3e05d00891d6dc36a00df0025cf255: unterminated

error in tag 9bf86baaa3b35b25baa2d664e2f7f6cafad689ee: unterminated

error in tag c7071e6d645a8e13adb0d4cea2caad27213fa62f: unterminated
header
Checking objects: 100% (325719/325719), done.
Checking connectivity: 325719, done.


These new tests are enabled by default when using git fsck.  I have been
testing with git version 2.4.4.409.g5b1d901 and thought you might want
to know so the error messages can be corrected.


I think these issues were already reported here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg175411.html but
were not reproducible.   Can you see if they can be reproduced using a
newer git (2.4 or 2.3) and git fsck --full ?

Thanks,
Liam
