Git Clone Fails

[evans]

The repository does not clone, due to a bad commit. Let me know if I can do anything more to help!

Expected Result

The repository should be cloned successfully with the command:

git clone git@github.com:requests/requests.git

Actual Result

I get this message:

Cloning into 'requests'...
remote: Counting objects: 20967, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (25/25), done.
error: object 5e6ecdad9f69b1ff789a17733b8edc6fd7091bd8: badTimezone: invalid author/committer line - bad time zone
fatal: Error in object
fatal: index-pack failed

Reproduction Steps

run:

git clone git@github.com:requests/requests.git

Thanks for the report. This is a known problem: see #3088, #3008, and #2690 for previous discussions. The problem can be easily resolved on your end either by performing a shallow clone (if you don't need the history) or turning off the fsck timestamp check. This cannot be fixed without rewriting our history and causing way more problems that way than by just letting it sit.
