Git push hangs on POST git-receive-pack
git, git-push, image, tfs
Solution
The problem occurs with msysgit and curl in the current version. There's a problem with handling authentication over HTTPS:
Documented here: https://github.com/msysgit/git/issues/349
Solution: Install the pre-release of Git for Windows 2.x
UPDATE:
Version 2.5.1 for Windows is released, so please use that one. https://git-scm.com/download/win
Problem
I'm on a Windows 8 Machine with git version 1.9.5.msysgit.0 pushing to a TFS Git Repository hosted on HTTPS. When I push any text file everything is fine. But pushing a certain .jpg file git hangs on POST git-recieve-pack with the following output: ``` $ git push -v Pushing to https://tfs.ourcompanyn.com/tfs/DefaultCollection/Prototypes/_git/TestProject Counting objects: 11, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 59.76 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 5 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0) POST git-receive-pack (61329 bytes) ``` It stays like this and does not change anymore We use wincred as credentialhelper and I've checked that authentication works. Also I can push code. Just some of the .jpeg Files create this problem. Is CMYK / RGB a problem? Is https with git and tfs a problem? EDIT: I've tried so far to increase http.postbuffer as mentioned in this post. ``` git config http.postBuffer 524288000 ```
