The relevant part of the error is "Cache is newer than repository - do 
you have multiple, independently updated repos with same ID?"

I wonder how this situation came up? Did you restore the contents of 
remote repository from a backup to an older version? Or was this due to 
sshfs getting disconnected?

This issue describes some solutions by removing the local cache of the 
repository. That should fix the issue.
