It worked fine for several pushes but suddenly I got this error message: git push origin master Counting objects: 37, done. Compressing objects: 100% (27/27) Writing objects: 100% (31/31) Writing objects: 100% (31/31), 5.59 KiB, done. Total 31 (delta 11), reused 10 (delta 1) error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/0e: File exists fatal: failed to write object error: unpack failed: unpacker exited with error code To git@myserver.de:django.git ! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error)) error: failed to push some refs to 'git@myserver.de:django.git' I didn't changed anything on the server and haven't done anything special in my local copy (just added/edited files). How can I fix this? (Already tried cloning my repository locally and push from the new one). Thanks in advice, Jan PS: Please cc me in your response since I'm not subscribed to the mailing list. ``` ## Tay Ray Chuan, 2010-02-24 00:54 Subject: Re: Error on push (unable to create temporary sha1 filename) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/be6fef0d1002231654r4fe08149qa937bbd9cc83d6a2%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <8dacd7b31002231311q46c1c3b9o63c57fabe696f2ea@mail.gmail.com> ``` Hi, On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 5:11 AM, Jan Niklas Hasse wrote: > git push origin master > > Counting objects: 37, done. > Compressing objects: 100% (27/27) > Writing objects: 100% (31/31) > Writing objects: 100% (31/31), 5.59 KiB, done. > Total 31 (delta 11), reused 10 (delta 1) > error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/0e: File exists > > fatal: failed to write object > error: unpack failed: unpacker exited with error code > To git@myserver.de:django.git >  !

Perhaps you have temp files from previously aborted/failed pushes lying around. -- Cheers, Ray Chuan ``` ## Jan Niklas Hasse, 2010-02-27 12:38 Subject: Re: Error on push (unable to create temporary sha1 filename) Message-ID: <8dacd7b31002270438ve59e43djd44e2866b697d3ab@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/8dacd7b31002270438ve59e43djd44e2866b697d3ab%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 1:54 AM, Tay Ray Chuan wrote: > could you try running "git gc"?

Compressing objects: 100% (52/52), done. Writing objects: 100% (102/102), done. Total 102 (delta 34), reused 102 (delta 34) But still the same error message when trying to push :( ``` ## Tay Ray Chuan, 2010-02-27 13:01 Subject: Re: Error on push (unable to create temporary sha1 filename) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/be6fef0d1002270501j124540c5g36a6a97142f4a7fc%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <8dacd7b31002270438ve59e43djd44e2866b697d3ab@mail.gmail.com> ``` Hi, On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 8:38 PM, Jan Niklas Hasse wrote: > The output of git gc looks like this: > > Counting objects: 102, done. > Delta compression using up to 2 threads. > Compressing objects: 100% (52/52), done. > Writing objects: 100% (102/102), done. > Total 102 (delta 34), reused 102 (delta 34) > > But still the same error message when trying to push :( running out of ideas. Could you post the output of "ls -lR .git/objects" ? -- Cheers, Ray Chuan ``` ## Jan Niklas Hasse, 2010-02-27 13:16 Subject: Re: Error on push (unable to create temporary sha1 filename) Message-ID: <8dacd7b31002270516g63b84112g606da2a585764467@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/8dacd7b31002270516g63b84112g606da2a585764467%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 2:01 PM, Tay Ray Chuan wrote: > running out of ideas.

Yes: $ ls -LR .git/objects .git/objects: info pack .git/objects/info: packs .git/objects/pack: pack-34230f05b0351f54be4f3770abca7e483c5592c9.idx pack-34230f05b0351f54be4f3770abca7e483c5592c9.pack $ I'm using git version 1.6.3.3 btw. Thanks for the help so far! ```
