Description Ross Burton 2012-07-20 11:00:14 UTC

Many of the builds are failing at shell_26 with:

"Grabbing git archive failed"
fatal: Not a valid object name
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

For example, m-u-t at:

Comment 1 Beth Flanagan 2012-07-20 16:03:23 UTC

This is a known issue for non-master builds. I'll have a fix in tonight.

Comment 2 Nitin Kamble 2012-07-24 09:10:49 UTC

Still see these failures for MUT on autobuilder:

Comment 3 Beth Flanagan 2012-07-24 20:12:30 UTC

Yes, I don't have a fix for this yet. This is a long standing issue and will probably not be fixed until later this week.
