git push - How to fix Error remote: fatal: bad object HEAD?

Question

I did clone a master branch, created a new branch and made changes, commit and try to push using the following command:

git push origin myNewBranch, but I keep getting the following error:

remote: fatal: bad object HEAD
To https://gitlab.com/myProjectRepo/my-app.git
 ! [remote rejected] myNewBranch -> myNewBranch (missing necessary objects)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gitlab.com/myProjectRepo/my-app.git'

The error I get doesn't mention or point to any empty object file like asked here. And also it happens from my side when trying to push not commit

It seems like Gitlab got themselves into yet another SNAFU about 2-3 hours ago as of writing this answer, and the problem is on their side.
