Subject: commit sized around 100 gb in changes failed to push to a TFS remote - Git
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2019 16:47:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <MN2PR21MB1231DB1D2FCE7622F0AED616E9EE0@MN2PR21MB1231.namprd21.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

To @Git Community
From the perspective of an Azure DevOps support engineer. I have a customer who is unable to make a push with following error:
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
failed to push some refs into https://zelos.healthcare.siemens.com/tfs/Hoover/VA20A.DevInt.Gvfs/_git/Saturn
The local repository has only one change when comparing it to the remote and it is a commit labelled with SHA value: 504aedfdbb to a branch called gitTest
This being said the scheme is as following:
[Remote] - master
b946c27c
[Local] - gitTest branch
504aedfdbb
b946c27c
Important data:
- The commit 504aedfdbb contains +100 GB in file changes
- The remote git repository is a TFS server
- Customer isn't building code - it is using the remote kind of as a storage service <- We understand these are not best practices but is the way customer is using Git and TFS. If @Git Community could confirm/elaborate on this customer may change up the current approach he is using.
Things tried:
- reset the history for the local repository back to the latest shared commit b946c27c and committed something small which succeeded to push into remote into a brand new branch by running $ git push origin <name of local branch>
- cherry-picked the commit into local master and attempted to push = failed. <- this makes me think this is entirely caused by the oversized commit
- boosted up the http post buffer configuration = failed. Rolled configuration back to default according to the MSFT docs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/rpc-failures-http-postbuffer?view=azure-devops
- since this is a TFS server I initially though this could be caused by insufficient disk storage capacity in the server containing the TFS product. But @Vimal Thiagaraj has confirmed that the repositories size limit depend upon the remote TFS databases and not the server itself. Is there a limit on these databases or on how much changes can a git commit contain?
Things I've suggested to customer:
- commit more frequently in smaller batches
- understand that the nature of git is to collaborate and track versions of files over time - not a cloud storage provider
Would appreciate any insight on this @Git Community. Thanks to @Phillip Oakley who took the time to answer last time I posted a question to this mailing list.
