remote: error: inflate: data stream error (unknown compression method)

After some computer "Blue Screen Of death" episodes, I cannot "Push" commits to a Dropbox origin bare repository. The dialog is:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=manager-st push -v --tags --set-upstream origin Bulk_extract:Bulk_extract
Pushing to D:/Meir/Dropbox/git_repositories/ML.git
sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en): No such file or directory
remote: error: inflate: data stream error (unknown compression method)

To D:/Meir/Dropbox/git_repositories/ML.git
 ! [remote rejected] Bulk_extract -> Bulk_extract (missing necessary objects)
error: failed to push some refs to 'D:/Meir/Dropbox/git_repositories/ML.git'

Completed with errors, see above.

Help? Anybody...?

Hi

it sounds like your Git repository has been corrupted. It is probably worht running git fsck, https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck, or possibly re-cloning

Running git fsck --full  yiels this:

Dad@Meir_2 MINGW64 /d/Meir/Dropbox/git_repositories/ML.git (BARE:master)
$ git fsck --full
notice: HEAD points to an unborn branch (master)
error: inflate: data stream error (unknown compression method)
error: unable to unpack 2e7c1be969812b240f6dfa7ca9506de4d30d4a04 header

fatal: loose object 2e7c1be969812b240f6dfa7ca9506de4d30d4a04 (stored in ./objects/2e/7c1be969812b240f6dfa7ca9506de4d30d4a04) is corrupt

Any hope???
