Description
I get an error trying to clone OF.
$git clone https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks.git --verbose
Cloning into 'openFrameworks'...
POST git-upload-pack (gzip 1391 to 749 bytes)
remote: Counting objects: 134186, done.
error: object bb1f763543cc01b7f5904fcfb636888c3ad73def: zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes
fatal: Error in object
$git --version
git version 2.12.2
I think it is due to me updating my .gitconfig recently with:
[Transfer]
fsckobjects = true
Not sure how serious this is, I couldn't find much on it... But I thought I should report just in case.

Start by reproducing the clone with Git 2.12.2 and the reported Transfer.fsckobjects setting, then compare it with that setting disabled. Inspect whether the repository clone or local configuration triggers the zeroPaddedFilemode error; the issue is done when the cause and a verified resolution are documented.
