For any directory A(having several subfolders) in the git directory, if I zip directory A to A.zip, I am able to push the zipped file, A.zip to the Remote GIT repository. However, when I try to push the unzipped directory(A) directly, the push fails with the following exception:

Counting objects: 110, done.
Writing objects: 100% (109/109), 12.60 MiB | 445 KiB/s, done.
Total 109 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
fatal: early EOF
error: unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit
To user@dev-server:/mnt/repositories/repo-1/test.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))
error: failed to push some refs to 'user@dev-server:/mnt/git-repositories/repo1/test.git'

Client is on Windows 7 & Remote GIT server is RHEL 6 Msysgit 1.7.6 on server and 1.8.2 on client Get same issue from other workstation machines uses as clients. This problem usually happens for directory sizes > 8-10 MB

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This issue occurs only when the remote repository is on a mounted file-system instead of a normal file-system

Also if I try to push my sub-directories one-by-one, individually(each under 1Mb) it works

  • Does this happen if you push to the server over ssh instead of to the network mounted repository? – asm Aug 14 '13 at 15:22

  • @Andrew This issue happens only for mounted file-systems. For usual file system, it works fine – user2394848 Aug 14 '13 at 16:02
  • @user2394848: Could you elaborate on "mounted file-system"? (do you mean a bind mount? File systems are usually mounted to be used.) – Hasturkun Aug 14 '13 at 16:15
  • @Hasturkun yes a bind mount... physically located on some other remote machine – user2394848 Aug 14 '13 at 16:22
  • @Keval tried the suggestions in yr mentioned post.. still getting the same issue – user2394848 Aug 14 '13 at 16:26
  • @user2394848: Okay, that's not a bind mount (which allow you to remount part of the file hierarchy elsewhere). What sort of remote filesystem are you mounting? CIFS/SMB? NFS? What sort of system is hosting the fs? – Hasturkun Aug 15 '13 at 11:24

try: git config pack.windowMemory 10m git config pack.packSizeLimit 20m then retry the git clone

or git gc
