Can't clone repository, bad tree object

[darkshade9]

Hello,

I've been working in my repository (a fork of another) recently and have been running into some strange behavior when cloning and checking out one of my branches. Today, I tried a fresh clone of the repository and was greeted with this:

remote: fatal: bad tree object 753bcfd436c9bbfa4ad9b5316b688868b201a6ef
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

How do I contact a member of the Github team to resolve this, it appears it is a problem on the remote end? I found this SO post about how this user resolved their issue by contacting support, but the UI here doesn't make it easy to find said support contact information.

I've performed git fsck and git gc locally and I couldn't push up to my branch, which prompted me to attempt a fresh clone:

Yeah, that looks like a bug on their side. The bug report form is here: https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report

You could try cloning the repository using SSH, that should do the trick. And please ensure you are not trying to clone into a git initialized environment. Good luck.

same:

$ git pull
remote: fatal: bad tree object 3802a9789dc7bdaf583ebe909205faf9731cbf6a
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: protocol error: bad pack header

Now trying to reproduce with a fresh clone and it works again, including git pull. Weird bug.
