i'm currently using git svn in one of my repo and when i do

git svn fetch

i got

Found possible branch point: coherent tag ref
Initializing parent: ok stuff

error: bad index file sha1 signature
fatal: index file corrupt
command returned error: 128

Is ther a way to fix this ? It's a kind of an horrible repo. It take days to synch to that point, i dont want to start from begining :/.

I try the 

rm .git/index

from How to resolve "Error: bad index – Fatal: index file corrupt" when using Git but there is no such file.

The solution was to delete the "index" in the refs svn folder (from the root repo):

rm .git/svn/refs/{path/to/incriminated/ref}/index

Then my 

git svn fetch

worked again.

Were you able to spot the .git folder manually by going into your repository? you can try running below command to possibly get more information?

git fsck --full

I had another .git folder in my subfolder, therefore, causing the error. I would remove the .git subfolder and then remove the cached folder you were looking to commit: git rm --cached subfoldername
