git status shows fatal: bad object HEAD

Question

I have a problem with git on Windows Azure. Git status shows - \"fatal: bad object HEAD\" and I tried running:

 git fsck --full
 git gc

But

Answer 1

In my case the error came out of nowhere, but didn't let me push to the remote branch.

git fetch origin

And that solved it.

I agree this may not solve the issue for everyone, but before trying a more complex approach give it a shot at this one, nothing to loose.
