A user recently asked an interesting question on the git-users list. I think it warrants attentions of a specialists more hard-core than we're there over at git-users.
So I'd like to solicit help if those knowledgeable, if possible.

For example, in our fsck error it is not obvious which file is actually duplicated and how/where. And there is no commit sha involved - apparently only blob and tree sha's. But then finding good documentation on this is challenging. Might anyone have a pointer as to what to read to help figure out a solution/fix to the below? Or know of a solution outright? Thanks much in advance! -sandy $ git fsck --full Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. error in tree df79068051fa8702eae7e91635cca7eee1339002: contains duplicate file entries error in tree c2d09540a3c3f44c42be1dc8a2b0afa73a35f861: contains duplicate file entries Checking objects: 100% (623704/623704), done.
