git error: sha1 mismatch

[pfcarrier]

Good day,

After the update to git 2.13.1-arm I cannot clone repos or run git against an existing local git repos.

Example :

# Attempt at cloning a public repos
$ git clone git@github.com:Liaison-Intl/upgrade_toolbelt.git
Cloning into 'upgrade_toolbelt'...

Thanks!
PS: wondering, is there a way to downgrade to a previous package version ?

Happens to me too on aarch64.

Is this an upstream bug? Can anyone test git version 2.13.1 on a different distribution?

This is affecting me too and this is completely blocking. I cannot find earlier versions of the packages at http://termux.net/ ; how can I downgrade ?

Awe geez - wish I had come here first. I just spent about a half an hour looking for ways to fix what I assumed to be a corrupted repository. Running git 12.3.1. Did a packages update and git has been downgraded to 12.3.0 - works again.

This has now been fixed - the current git package is called 2.13.1.2 (and is really 2.13.1, but numbered higher temporarily until the next git minor update upstream).
