Cannot obtain needed object 524123a70761110c5cf3ccc5f52f6d4da071b959
error: Fetch failed.

does anybody know whats going wrong?

best regards,
Hannes

It works for me, both pulling into an existing repo and cloning from scratch. eventually you have local problems. Try if "git gc --prune", eventually followed by "git pack-refs --prune" helps.

It it doesn't, then clone from scratch.

And of course you should use git protocol rather than HTTP.
