Dear Maintainer,

for package exifprobe vcswatch asserts

Error: fatal: missing blob object '5688c95c719bd0ccef0e904ef4366410356308f4' error: remote did not send all necessary objects

while a fresh git clone well contains this object:

$ gbp clone git@salsa.debian.org:pkg-security-team/exifprobe.git copy-exifprobe
gbp:info: Cloning from 'git@salsa.debian.org:pkg-security-team/exifprobe.git' into 'copy-exifprobe'
$ cd copy-exifprobe/
$ git log --raw --all --find-object=5688c95c719bd0ccef0e904ef4366410356308f4

    pristine-tar data for exifprobe_2.0.1+git20170416.3c2b769.orig.tar.gz

Re-triggering vcswatch by clicking the "Scan now" button didn't fix the
issue.

I observered the same flaw with other packages in the past, vanishing
eventually for unknown reasons.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

The same meanwhile happened to the exifprobe package, no complains from
vcswatch anymore.

Still I wonder what might cause the issue.
