Subject: unpack failed --- is my repos broken?
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:42:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C45A7C5.1050601@llaisdy.com> (raw)

Dear All

I have several git repositories on a server, with which I'm 
communicating using smart-http.  Push and pull is all going fine.  Until 
this morning, one of the repositories is not allowing pushes:

     $ git push
     Password: ...
     Counting objects: 5, done.
     Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
     Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
     Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 410 bytes, done.
     Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0)
     error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit

Other repositories on the same server (and under the same /var/www/git/ 
directory) are working fine.

I have googled around and this doesn't seem to be an uncommon problem, 
but I haven't found a solution.

Does the above mean this repository is broken and I should rescue or 
replace it (as in "How to fix a broken repository?" on the git wiki [1])?

Is smart-http not entirely reliable?  In which case what is the 
preferred way to communicate remotely (we need to push as well as pull; 
there are a very small number of active developers)?

With thanks and best wishes

Ivan
