Git indexing fails due to bad pack header :

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

• git config pull.rebase false # merge (the default strategy)
• git config pull.rebase true # rebase
• git config pull.ff only # fast-forward only
