Maybe git-repack is broken? error: failed to run repack If I do a 'git repack' it works fine, so are these messages coming from the remote server? Thanks, Rob ``` ## Matthieu Moy, 2012-09-10 16:26 Subject: Re: Problems with repack during push Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/vpqfw6pj13t.fsf%40bauges.imag.fr In-Reply-To: <504E1256.4020605@gmail.com> ``` Rob Marshall writes: > If I do a 'git repack' it works fine, so are these > messages coming from the remote server? I guess so, and your remote server has a restricted environment (chroot or so) with very few commands allowed, which prevents shell-scripts from executing properly. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ ``` ## Rob Marshall, 2012-09-10 16:54 Subject: Re: Problems with repack during push Message-ID: <504E1B54.70603@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/504E1B54.70603%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` OK, thanks. I'll check with the guy who set up the server.
