I just stared using 1.5.0-rc yesterday, and ran into a problem with
git-push.
I am running vanilla 2.6.19 on amd64 SMP box. For this project I am
working in a 32bit chroot -- the 64/32bit setup is part of the problem.
There are 3 repositories involved here:
linux-2.6.git
- clone of a few branches from kernel.org
klips-vault.git
- linux tree from project upstream
- alternates = /.../linux-2.6.git/.git/objects
working dir:
- clone of klips-vault.git
- alternates = /.../klips-vault.git/.git/objects
- I made a new branch
- applied ~100 patches
- went to push and...
$ git version
git version 1.5.0.rc1.gdf1b
$ cat .git/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
url = /home/jukie/bart/work/xelerance/klips-vault.git/.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
push = refs/heads/my-ocf+fsm_v2.6.18:refs/heads/my-ocf+fsm_v2.6.18
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
$ git branch
master
* my-ocf+fsm_v2.6.18
$ git push origin

fatal: cannot fstat packfile: Value too large for defined data type
unpack index-pack exited with error code
ng refs/heads/my-ocf+fsm_v2.6.18 n/a (unpacker error)
There was some question as to why fstat fails in the chroot... I don't
have any 2TB pack files. The above repos are relatively small. All
.git directories sum up to about 500M.
I got some help from Shawn Pearce on #git. He told me to set the
[receive] unpackLimit=5000 in .git/config on the remote. That did
work, and I could push.
The conclusion was that my "chroot is broken". It's Ubuntu, so it
should Just Work(TM) :D
I have tested a few configurations:
git 1.4.4.4 - push OK
git 1.4.4.4 w/unpackLimit=100 - push fails
git 1.5.0-rc0 - push fails
git 1.5.0-rc1 - push fails
git 1.5.0-rc1 w/unpackLimit=5000 - push OK
I am not sure why 1.4.4.4 works w/o limit changes.
I will try not to touch anything for a while, and would be glad to help
further if I can.
