Maybe it's that? Almost. I think its that there are submodules in the local side and they are being pushed to the remote peer, but the git binary on the client that is being used to execute git-push doesn't know about submodules. "error: pack-objects died with strange error": This was pack-objects aborting when it saw a subtree entry and it couldn't trace down that path in order to include it into the pack. "unpack eof before pack header was fully read": This is the server side aborting because its gotten the command set from the git-push client, but pack-objects never even got to create the pack header, since it couldn't generate the full list of objects it needed to include. Tom, try upgrading to a Git implementation on the client. It seems to me that this repository must have been moved here by means outside of Git (NFS mount?), or the client got downgraded (wrong $PATH?) -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
