Hi,

I was able to push to git no probs till 2 days ago - then suddenly I started
getting this error:

Counting objects: 58, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (28/28) Compressing objects: 100% (28/28), done.
Writing objects: 100% (32/32) Writing objects: 100% (32/32), 7.40 KiB,
done.
Total 32 (delta 20), reused 0 (delta 0)
Read from remote host github.com: The connection was aborted
Pushing to git@github.com:tarelli/Wokhei.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

My user name is JohnIdol and I am trying to push to the repository in the
text above ( git@github.com:tarelli/Wokhei.git).

Is there anything you can do to help me?

thanks and Rgds

    That's odd, it doesn't look like you're pushing anything large... I assume you get this every time you try to push?

    Yes - I am not pushing anything large and I get it everytime I try to push -
    it stopped working without my configuration changing in any way.

    On the other end I can pull no probs ...

    Any thing I can do to reset the whole thing - generate another security key or smt like that?

    Help appreciated!

    I tried pushing to another repository and it works just fine (see below) - so it looks like it's definitely related to the specific repository --> git@github.com:tarelli/Wokhei.git

    Do you still have the repository locally?

    I would suggest deleting it on the server and then re-pushing - there may be a Git error.

    I tried deleting the local repository and re-pulling the whole thing - the problem disappeared.

    I then pushed a few times over a timespan of almost a day and it happened again.

    Gonna try the same trick but it would be nice to know why?!

    Sounds like a problem with your Git client :(

    I am using GitGUI - I was able to replicate the problem I think.

    After renaming files (in eclipse) Git sees the old files as discarded and inserts new ones.

    Every time I do this i get the error in subject.

    If I create new files with same content and different name and then use git rm from git bash then it works fine.

    Were the issues happening when you were working from the eclipse plugin, or from command line or git-gui? From all I've seen, the eclipse plugin has some weird issues, but falling back to the command line or git-gui usually works.

    The other question, did you install msysgit or cygwin, and did you use openssh (the default in msysgit) or putty?
