[solved] git fatal: index-pack failed

[solved] git fatal: index-pack failed

hi all,
I was trying to pull orange engine and I was getting errors. So I thought I would remove the whole directory and start afresh but still got the message. Any idea what could be wrong ?

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/orange-engine/orange-engine.git orange-engine
Cloning into 'orange-engine'...
remote: Counting objects: 3176, done.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly11)  
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Looking forward to hear what could be the issue.

Update: This might have to do with gitorious rolling out a new version, can somebody check ?

Looking forward for answers. 

Update: Tried again but still have the same issue popping though .
