    chris@chris-VirtualBox:~/code/dataquality$ git gc --aggressive

error: failed to run repack

I have no clue how to resolve the errors. What steps should I take?

When I run git fsck --full this is the output:

chris@chris-VirtualBox:~/code/dataquality$ git fsck --full
error: object file .git/objects/1e/6a84c4e4202c469c188b69fd23407fca44d69d is empty

    Since git fsck --full returned the same errors on the new clone the corrupt objects are used in a branch. The discussion section from git help fsck has this to say about your situation:

           Any corrupt objects you will have to find in backups or other archives 
       (i.e., you can just remove them and do an rsync with some other site in
       the hopes that somebody else has the object you have corrupted).

    So if you have an older clone with this object you may be able to recover. If you don’t have a backup this answer may be useful to you.
