When observing repositories, `git fetch` can fail in "index-pack" in unknown circumstances
Open, NormalPublic

Description

From elsewhere, an install is seeing fetches of observed repositories occasionally fail with an error like this:

Error updating working copy: Failed to fetch changes!
COMMAND
git fetch origin '+refs/*:refs/*' --prune

STDOUT
(empty)

STDERR
error: Could not read <... hash ...>
fatal: pack has 1 unresolved delta
fatal: index-pack failed

The only way to recover these working copies appears to be destroy and re-clone them.
