Description Sebastian Zarnekow

Recently the following error messages occur when I try to push to the Xtext git repo:

Auto packing the repository for optimum performance.
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-sh-setup: line 202: uname: command not found
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-repack: line 54: rm: command not found
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-repack: line 58: find: command not found
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-repack: line 58: sed: command not found
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-repack: line 91: mkdir: command not found
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-repack: line 91: rm: command not found

According to [1] this could even be a problem on the server instead of my poor machine. Could you please verify that this is not the server's fault?

This may be related to the restricted shell we use, which is not allowing those commands.  I've given you a real shell; can you please close all your connections and try your repack operation again?  Thanks

Works like a charm. Thanks.

How often do you need to do this repack?

Good question. The server seems to do it automatically after a certain time when somebody pushes new commits.
