Out-of-memory, out of disk space? Yes, that's my guess as well. This server had gc misconfigured, so it hit ENOSPC a few weeks ago. It is likely that the .lock files were left behind back then, and since then the clients pushing to these refs were transferring their whole history and still failing to update the ref, leading to rapid repo growth. So my situation is diagnosed and solved; I am still unhappy that it took so much work and expertise; mainly because git isn't logging anywhere. See my "Error logging for git over ssh?" message... thanks, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff
