Re: [Savannah-users] Allowing non-fastforward pushes in git

[Nik Nyby]

I tried to do a simple push (git push origin jpm) to this
branch today, and I'm getting a strange "unpacker error"
I haven't seen before:

Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 367 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0)
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit
To git://git.sv.gnu.org/librejs.git
 ! [remote rejected] jpm -> jpm (n/a (unpacker error))
 error: failed to push some refs to 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/librejs.git'


I looked up the error and found this page:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASHKB/Error%3A+Unpack+Failed%3A+Unpack-objects+Abnormal+Exit

So I cloned a new repository, and tried to do a test push
to that branch, to see if my local repository was the problem.
I got the same error, though. Force-pushing the branch also
yields this error.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using git version 2.1.4.
Let me know any info that might be helpful.
