Is there a way
to download just the .git directory? Or pull the
.git directory from the top level of the sources?
Are you possibly seeing the result of a hardware failure !
I'd run memcheck... Then try fsck on the hdd.
No, nothing like that. I have a backup clone of the entire drive
and the same modules are missing the .git folders there too. Likely
this has been happening for several days but as I don't sit and
watch the script running I would not have noticed the fatal error
messages.
The .git folders have simply disappeared. How will remain a
mystery. Not all have disappeared, just some. Murphy's Law, one of
the affected folders has to be !#%* tde-i18n, at 1.1 GB.
I'm slowly rebuilding affected modules by running git clone in a
clean location, but this is not my idea of how to spend the day. :-(
The entire GIT tree is 5.5 GB, which with my ISP connection, would
take more than 4 hours --- at optimal connection speed. Probably 6
hours or so, because many folks on this small rural ISP network are
indoors during the cold winter night streaming movies....
I'd like to find a way to just snag the missing .git folder, but no
such fortune yet on the web.
