Hello Kernel list!
On two machines a very specific repository the SHA1 implementation of
git-fsck and git-show fails in 9/10 cases for a specific 39MB blob.
This only occurs on vanilla Linux kernels 3.7.10, 3.8.0 (Ubuntu),
3.9.11, 3.10.5 _but not on_ 3.6.11 and 3.5.7
For details please refer to the thread starting at:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/231872
Never had any other hardware/stability issues _at all_ with these
machines. Only one repo out of 112 is affected. It's a git-svn clone and
even recreated copies out of svn do trigger the same failure.
Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very
rare kernel issue. I'm not a kernel hacker. And to raise the challenge:
I can't share the repo easily, either.
Any hints how to tackle this issue?
Thanks!

I'm not subscribed. Can you please CC me on replies?
Shameless self-bump: Since kernel 3.7.x i can reproduce a sporadic data
corruption using git on 2 different machine (same model, though).
Can anybody give me a hint who can help to trace down/fix this regression?
For more information please refer to my first post on Friday.
Sorry to bother again, but I have no clue where to ask elsewhere.
