Bug#1095121: vcswatch: erroneously asserts "missing blob object ... remote did not send all necessary objects"

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

for package exifprobe vcswatch asserts

Error: fatal: missing blob object '5688c95c719bd0ccef0e904ef4366410356308f4' error: remote did not send all necessary objects

while a fresh git clone well contains this object:

$ gbp clone [email protected]:pkg-security-team/exifprobe.git copy-exifprobe
gbp:info: Cloning from '[email protected]:pkg-security-team/exifprobe.git' into 'copy-exifprobe'
$ cd copy-exifprobe/
$ git log --raw --all --find-object=5688c95c719bd0ccef0e904ef4366410356308f4

Re-triggering vcswatch by clicking the "Scan now" button didn't fix the
issue.  

I observered the same flaw with other packages in the past, vanishing
eventually for unknown reasons.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Sven
