Git hangs on compressing objects

Ryan Ray· May 13, 2010, 20:05 UTC · lore

I'm on Mac OS 10.6

ryanray:fhlb2009ar ryan.ray$ git push Counting objects: 322, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. ^Cmpressing objects: 94% (243/258)

Iv'e tried this countless times today. It just doesn't finish. My local dir is 6 revisions ahead of master so I prefer not to can my local dir and re-clone.

Any suggestions? Can I figure out which file (243) is hanging it?

Thanks,

Ryan

Are you sure it's hung and not just being slow? Is it still pegging at least one CPU? Is it hitting the disk? Do you have any very large files, especially ones that might push you into swapping?

No, there isn't a good way to see which object it is working on. You would have to run it in a debugger (which I would consider anyway, then you can see what it is actually doing while hung).
