[BUG] unpacker error

[Brilator]

A windows user got the following error:

error: remote unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit
To https://git.nfdi4plants.org/user/ARC.git
! [remote rejected] main -> main (unpacker error)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.nfdi4plants.org/user/ARC.git'

Did anyone see this before?
Probably more of a DataHUB rather than ARCitect issue.

The remote URL seems wrong:

https://git.nfdi4plants.org/user/ARC.git

note the user part. Normally this is the name of the user, in my case e.g. jb1042

this was pseudonymized on purpose...

Ok, nevermind then :D I will check the logs.

Edit: I do not see anything out of the ordinary. Let me know if the issue arises again and I will check it again.

This error was probably due to a push size limit we set. We have done so because large files were uploaded directly into the repository (not tracked as LFS files). The limit was 10MB originally, but we just increased it to 100MB.

I can parse the response from git and on seeing this error: error: remote unpack failed I could prompt some text that suggests that the uploaded files could be too large, and recommend to use LFS instead. What do you think @TetraW @Brilator?

[Brilator]

I guess you won't want to parse every possible error.

I'd rather suggest to try and avoid having users run into this at all #264. Would require more communication between the tool devs though (limit was not changed to 100 MB).

[j-bauer]

@Brilator typo? not = now? The limit was changed afaik.

[Brilator]

yes

This issue will be closed because it is essentially a duplicate of #264
