Problem
We're working on a clients Magento website at the moment. We've been developing some updates on http://dev.theirwebsite.com and using git to track commits etc. We got to the stage today when we were happy to put all of the changes live onto their production website on a Linux server. We went to the root folder of their site via SSH and ran a 'git pull' command to pull in the master file (git pull 'origin' master) but got the following error back: ``` error: cannot create thread: Resource temporarily unavailable fatal: fetch-pack: unable to fork off sideband demultiplexer ``` I've been looking all day for ways to fix this. Just to clarify, the dev.theirdomain.com works with git pull, but the production site (even though it's on the same server) doesn't...
