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)?
