Description Jan Lohre CLA 2011-06-24 07:59:19 EDT
I am currently unable to push changes to https://jlohre@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.git

Using the gitbash results in:
$ git push origin
Password:
Counting objects: 9, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 779 bytes, done.
Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0)
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit

Using EGit leads to a similar message indicating the same problem:
 An internal Exception occurred during push: https://jlohre@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.git: error occurred during unpacking on the remote end: unpack-objects abnormal exit
 
So both report "unpack-objects abnormal exit", whatever that means.

I already tried with a fresh clone but that didn't help.

I have seen the other issues including "error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit" but as I do not see any "fatal: failed to write object" I opened a new one.

Looks like the permissions for the web user were missing in a few places.  Fixed.

-M.

Works like a charm, thank you.
