From a quick web search , it looks like that problem might be related to a bug in old versions of JGit.

Are you doing "git gc" (native command line git) or "gerrit gc" (Gerrit/JGit gc)?

You're on quite an old version of Gerrit - any chance of upgrading at some point?

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for reply
Can you please provide the solution for resolving problem

we used the commands:  git fsck --full
                                      git gc --prune=now

after running above commands , getting below error

error: refs/ does not point to a valid object!

 may i know , how to check the missing objects and how to restore it .

I don't have any immediate solution, but a couple of points:

(1) If you are using "git gc" outside of Gerrit, I suggest that you only do it when Gerrit is stopped.

(2) I suggest you make sure you have a backup for you start trying to fix this.

When you say you get "error: refs/ does not point to a valid object!"

I don't know what command you are issuing to get that.

Is there anything in Gerrit's error_log?

When reporting problems, please try and be 100% clear, and copy/paste the exact command you issued, and the exact response you got (you can mask out (xxx) sensitive information if you need to).

Otherwise, we have to guess what you mean.

Thanks for your suggestions Matthew ,

Issue got fixed now , problem is due to reference object missing to particular branch.like (refs/heads/master)
we updated the ref object , it is working fine and we are able to clone the project.
