Re: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

Not all people can afford stable network connection... I'm now suffered from connection lost and have to restart the clone/push fully. It's OK when dealing with a project of several MB size, but when I try to clone a 2GB sized repo I never succeed. So I wonder, if there should be some way to resume from break-point for git? For example what if we support something like Content-Range in http, and make the download be split into smaller files, then make some way to auto-resume if some file block failed hash-check?

Is this on a Windows machine using Git for Windows, or a Linux machine, or even 'Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)" on windows?

If it is Windows then you may have hit the "sizeof(long)=32bit" limit.

If it is Linux then maybe adjust your refspec to limit the size of each fetch or push. There has also been a recent change discussed on list that added a config variable for some sort of rate limit limit but haven't looked back at the mail archive to try to remember details - try searching the https://public-inbox.org/git/
