git fsck broken due to "hwmon: (nct7904) Fix incorrect temperature limitation register setting of LTD."

Hi,

When fetching linux[1] I have:

According to gitweb[2], 4a2d78822fdf1556dfbbfaedd71182fe5b562194
corresponds to "hwmon: (nct7904) Fix incorrect temperature limitation
register setting of LTD.".

The issue seem to be that the "Author date" is "2085-06-18 15:57:19
+0000" which seems wrong.

Is there still time to fix this date?

Sorry for the trouble. Unfortunately I didn't catch it before it was pushed.
I don't think it can be fixed; my understanding is that the git tree can
not be modified.

What is your git version ? I don't see the problem with git version 2.17.1.

This may be because you may not have fsckobjects set to true.

I've git 2.23.0 with:
- transfer.fsckobjects = true 
- fetch.fsckobjects = true
