Problem

When you run git fsck in a repository on Bitbucket Server's local disk, you see the following error messages: 

2019/03/16 01:19:47 error: stash-refs/pull-requests/36592/merge: invalid reflog entry 1a0d6e42a61f0f0e74aaebd2064de77281548f58

Cause

There are broken commits in the reflogs related to pull requests. 

Resolution

  1. Find a Bitbucket repository ID in the UI of Bitbucket by going to the repository and then settings. There you'll see a line that says "Location on disk" and a path similar to this: BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/data/repositories/1.
  2. Use the following command in the repository directory to fix it.
git reflog expire --expire=never --expire-unreachable=never --rewrite --stale-fix -- stash-refs/pull-requests/36592/merge stash-refs/pull-requests/37256/merge

This command should have only removed broken entries from the reflogs. You should get output similar to the following: 

3f2a0eb9a615b stash-refs/pull-requests/36592/merge@{0}: 
ceed87100bcad stash-refs/pull-requests/36592/merge@{1}:
