I'm having one of those nasty 128 errors which I cannot debug:

************
predircam@eduab:~/public_html/idosing>  git pull
Generating pack...
Done counting 117 objects.
error: unable to find c3117d23df0c01ba8558bad81ad3488f0e8d430a

Fetch failure: /home/predircam/gitrepos/idosing.git
***************

google suggests me to run git fsck to get a list of corrupted
files. Besides that I'm running git 1.2.4 and that the git command for
that version is fsck-objects, I'm not having any result at all.

Could this be a compatibility problem? As I said, I run git 1.2.4 on
the repo server and git 1.7.0.2 on my development server. BTW, on my
devel server running the git command fsck gives no result either.

Do this repository uses submodules?  IIRC pre 1.4.x (or even later)
git didn't understand modules.

Or it might be problem with deltabaseoffset, i.e. when objects is
stored in pack as a difference (delta) from other objects, it refers
to base by offset in pack, and not by sha-1 id.  I don't remember if
ancient 1.2.4 supports this feature.  This is more likely.

Why don't you upgrade git (perhaps installing it locally in your home
directory)?

Upgrading doesn't depend on me, unfortunately.

The problem arouse when creating a first branch and merging later into 
master branch. Does this give a clue?
