Pushing to github gives the same error, so I guess it's a local thing. I'll check some older versions. -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund ``` ## Jeff King, 2009-12-13 23:02 Subject: Re: strange error while pushing Message-ID: <20091213230214.GA27365@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20091213230214.GA27365%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: <40aa078e0912131441i370d9c23r65c42fe1f46bd194@mail.gmail.com> ``` On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 11:41:49PM +0100, Erik Faye-Lund wrote: > I was going to push some stuff I'm working on to my repo at > repo.or.cz, and just got the following error: > > $ GIT_TRACE=1 git push kusma work/daemon-win32:work/daemon-win32-process > trace: built-in: git 'push' 'kusma' > 'work/daemon-win32:work/daemon-win32-process' > trace: run_command: 'ssh' 'repo.or.cz' 'git-receive-pack > '\''/srv/git/git/kusma.git'\''' > trace: run_command: 'pack-objects' '--all-progress-implied' '--revs' > '--stdout' '--thin' > trace: built-in: git 'pack-objects' '--all-progress-implied' '--revs' > '--stdout' '--thin' I notice your pack-objects is being called with the new --all-progress-implied, and then you get a usage error with pack-objects: > usage: git pack-objects [{ -q | --progress | --all-progress }] > [--max-pack-size=N] [--local] [--incremental] > [--window=N] [--window-memory=N] [--depth=N] > [--no-reuse-delta] [--no-reuse-object] [--delta-base-offset] > [--threads=N] [--non-empty] [--revs [--unpacked | --all]*] [--reflog] > [--stdout | base-name] [--include-tag] > [--keep-unreachable | --unpack-unreachable] > [ URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/40aa078e0912131508y79815bej6290c0848aa9f9cf%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20091213230214.GA27365@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 12:02 AM, Jeff King wrote: > On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 11:41:49PM +0100, Erik Faye-Lund wrote: >> usage: git pack-objects [{ -q | --progress | --all-progress }] >>         [--max-pack-size=N] [--local] [--incremental] >>         [--window=N] [--window-memory=N] [--depth=N] >>         [--no-reuse-delta] [--no-reuse-object] [--delta-base-offset] >>         [--threads=N] [--non-empty] [--revs [--unpacked | --all]*] [--reflog] >>         [--stdout | base-name] [--include-tag] >>         [--keep-unreachable | --unpack-unreachable] >>         [ > Is it possible you have a new git accidentally calling an old version of > pack-objects? > Ah, yes it is! I just now tracked down the issue myself, and landed at the same conclution. The reason? Simple, I was pushing git from a directory with a recent git-binary, when my *installed* git was v1.6.4 ;) Running "make install" before pushing fixed the issue.
