git Unable to pull or fetch code on one project but works fine on other project

Question

I am unable to pull or fetch code on one of my project.

Command Issued :

$ git pull origin master

Error Messages :

fatal: internal server error
remote: internal server error
fatal: protocol error: bad pack header

Though, I am able to pull patch on the same project and pull & fetch origin master on other project.

Where I can see more detailed logs? And how can I resolve this issue?

[EDIT]

git fsck output :

Do you have access to run `git fsck` on the server, or something similar, to verify the integrity of the remote repository? — Lasse V. Karlsen, Jun 11 '18 at 09:51
The server log file should contain more details about what failed. — Rudi, Jun 11 '18 at 11:11

This error occurs because you've run out of memory on the server. Maybe because of large files or because of virtual limits.

Try this commands and then try again. Here's the reference.

git config --global pack.windowMemory "100m"
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit "100m"
git config --global pack.threads "1"

I can see dangling blobs but that should be fine. May be the Repo got corrupt, you can try to fix that in case that's the issue. Keep a backup of the config file,

$ cd project
$ cp .git/config .git/config.backup
$ git remote remove origin

Above step is just to relink you repo again.

$ mv .git/config.backup .git/config

Now get all the content again, don't use pull here

$ git fetch

Now execute

$ git pull origin master

The issue is resolved now.

Loose object pruning caused the problem and leading to repo corruption.

The issue is resolved by reverting the tip to the HEAD to previous gerrit at server.

Thanks all for your response.
