errror - did not send all necessary objects

[tcurdt]

While "Breaking-Move" gives an idea, I am a little lost on what happened here.

Last zgenom autoupdate log:
--------
fatal: bad object refs/remotes/origin/Breaking-Move-zgen-compatibility-into-zgen.zsh.zwc
error: https://github.com/jandamm/zgenom.git did not send all necessary objects

Any pointers on how to fix this?

Facing the same issue recently. Get this in the console output on every new terminal.

Hey @tcurdt, @V4G4X,

that issue isn't actually the Breaking change of #137.

The issue is that the branch of #137 ended in .zsh.
Git creates a file to keep track of that file .git/refs/remotes/origin/Breaking-Move-zgen-compatibility-into-zgen.zsh.
When zgenom compiles it sources the .git folder wasn't ignored. So zgenom created a .git/refs/remotes/origin/Breaking-Move-zgen-compatibility-into-zgen.zsh.zwc.
The next time Git checks for updates it cannot get an update on the branch Breaking-Move-zgen-compatibility-into-zgen.zsh.zwc.

I fixed this in #140.

In order to fix the current state you have to do the following:

cd $ZGEN_SOURCE
rm -f ".git/refs/remotes/origin/Breaking-Move-zgen-compatibility-into-zgen.zsh.zwc"
git fetch --prune
git rebase origin/main

This will remove the faulty file and update zgenom so it won't happen again.

Please let me know if this fixes your issue 👍
