Can anybody tell me what the following error means?

-----------------
sh-3.00# git push ssh://me@git.domain.org/gitroot/project/projectmain.git master
Password:
fatal: exec pack-objects failed.
Broken pipe
-------------------

Thanks,

Marcus

You don't have git (especially git-pack-objects) in your path on the
remote end. Try

	ssh me@git.domain.org git --version

to see if your $PATH isn't setup correctly on ssh logins.
