I was working on Xamarin iOS project on my Mac machine where I had to pull a commit with large files (high resolution images). Surprisingly, it took longer than ever and failed after a while with error message :

> packfile is truncated

I could not figure out why is pull not working with Xamarin Studio. Later I figured out the simple, silly solution for the same.** Just close the file explorer (Finder, they say in the world of mac) and pull the code again.** It started working again.
