It worked fine for me just now on Ubuntu 16.04 with go1.8.1 and git 2.7.4. Have you got recent versions of those?
Also, it might need some work before it will build/run on Mac/Windows (especially the latter), one of which you seem to be using. I've only run it on linux.

[petemoore]

I thought I might see if I can help out with a Mac port (even maybe Windows!)

I'm using

pmoore@Petes-iMac:~/go/src/github.com/petemoore $ uname -a
Darwin Petes-iMac.local 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0: Fri Feb 17 10:21:18 PST 2017; root:xnu-3248.60.11.4.1~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

pmoore@Petes-iMac:~/go/src/github.com/petemoore $ 

I can work around the issue by just cloning with a depth of 1, although that might be tricky for feeding back Pull Requests later. Not to worry, I'll see if I can find out what is going wrong.

The zeroPaddedFileMode problem can be seen because you have fsckobjects = true in your ~/.gitconfig

[ivorget]

Hope jabley's tip helps. And sure it would be nice to see it work on mac/windows. For starters, some of the sdl interface files currently have '+build' directives restricting to linux/freebsd that will need to be fixed. That's all I know off hand.

[petemoore]

Indeed, that was the case, thanks @jabley and @ivorget!

@ivorget If you run git fsck in your repository, you should see the same problems. It looks like fsck checking is disabled on fetch by default in most git distros, but I think it is diagnosing a genuine issue. I was able to repair the history, but most of the commit SHAs changed (starting from about the 5th commit) so you may prefer not to that. Anyway, I can work with it by disabling the fsck checking when working with this repo.
