What I wonder is what process was used to convince git to create a commit which it would later say is invalid. As I said, I'm curious.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Plus it's rather annoying to do so (rewrite history). The identifier of each commit is a hash computed from the content of the commit plus the metadata which includes the authors. Changing the author would change the identifier of the commit. That then changes the identifier of every commit afterwards. That then breaks every checkout / fork based off the tree as they no longer know where they are forked from. And since identifiers have all been rewritten we would no longer know what version you were running, or what version bug reports were reported against.<BR>

(that's why git makes it easy to amend your latest uncommitted commit message but rather difficult to edit any others)<BR>

If git fsck complains about the issue, what is the justification for saying that Github is broken? How were these commits created with a format that git itself complains about?<BR>

<BR>
I'm trying to push the freeswitch git repo to my github, but I get the following error<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
remote: error: object 487128950df6ee433c131b5feaafe81ee86629f4:invalid format - expected 'committer' line<BR>
remote: fatal: Error in object<BR>
channel_by_id: 0: bad id: channel free<BR>
Received window adjust for non-open channel 0.<BR>
error: pack-objects died of signal 13<BR>
<BR>
This is caused by having multiple authors on a commit (which in general is not allowed by git) and github verifies the commits and rejects it.<BR>
<BR>
here is the output of git fsck<BR>
<BR>
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.<BR>
