Hello guys,

I have a small problem with a git repository and I haven't find a way to
fix my problem.
I am using git with gerrit [1] as frontend (even if I don't think it is
related here).
For an unknown reason, the repository just became corrupted.

When I try to clone the repository straight with the file system, the
following error is displayed:
error: refs/changes/98/398/1 does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/changes/98/398/2 does not point to a valid object!
fatal: object cff52c24fba28408e7d021a8f35a717bef31521d is corrupted
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

git-prune & git-fsck both fail.

Does anyone know how to repair this error ?

Did you try what the FAQ suggests:

https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitFaq#How_to_fix_a_broken_repository.3F

Yes. It shows an other error and it doesn't match the error described on
this URL [1].

I get the following:
error: refs/tags/5.3.0-beta-4 does not point to a valid object!
fatal: object 555a7c359b2e589ec10822d9b56cdfeee0105fe0 is corrupted

The FAQ says that you should try to replace any broken and/or missing
objects, so you should try to do that with object
555a7c359b2e589ec10822d9b56cdfeee0105fe0 (as described in the FAQ)
even if the error message is not exactly the same.

Regards,
Christian.
