Overview

The repostiory check was reporting the following error because when mirroring was disabled, the repo.git/refs/remotes/mirror/<branch_sha> files had not been removed but were empty.

To correct this, remove the files under repo.git/refs/remotes/mirror and reran the repository check to verify it completed successfully.

Proposal

Improve logging of the repository check. Unclear messaging, because the command: nice git --git-dir=//.git fsck did not fail as stated below:

Tailing the repocheck.log file shows this:

E, [2017-04-03T10:28:08.865886 #27236] ERROR -- : command failed: nice git --git-dir=/var/opt/gitswarm/git-data/repositories/platform/entity-district.git fsck 
error: refs/remotes/mirror/CPF-778: invalid sha1 pointer 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The error is due to a remote mirror not having the correct sha.
