git clone fail with zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes

[rexpan]

Try to clone the project with git will fail with following error

$ git clone git@github.com:WiseLibs/better-sqlite3.git
Cloning into 'better-sqlite3'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 14910, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (233/233), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (111/111), done.
error: object 47b7a1e47209caa72e92ad6d1d597c8368aa626e: zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes
fatal: fsck error in packed object
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Workaround is use

 git clone --config transfer.fsckobjects=false --config receive.fsckobjects=false --config fetch.fsckobjects=false git@github.com:WiseLibs/better-sqlite3.git

Would be nice if we can fix the Git repo.

Can't reproduce the error you're having.

I can by running fsck. I assume the OP has git configured so it runs on clone

$ git fsck 
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.

$ git version

@Prinzhorn Yep, just check my .gitconfig and I have transfer.fsckobjects turned on. Since the default is false, I think most of us won't have this problem.

	fsckobjects = true
