git pull and clone error fatal: early EOF; fatal: unpack-objects failed

Question

sorry to trouble you genius..

i am coming across a common problem that there is many solution on stack overflow, but those solution all does not suit for me. So at the end i have no choice but ask help from you genius again on the stack overflow.

1. i have a cloned repository on my server.
2. when i changed some code on my development machine and push to the remote git repository, everything worked smoothly.
3. the error start from when i pull data from the server. On the server, i command git pull the following error show up:

remote: Counting objects: 66, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (65/65), done. Connection to bitbucket.org closed by remote host. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: unpack-objects failed

4. i tried this sloution: fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed but i get error form step 2 git clone --depth 1 <repo_URI>

the error is :

Cloning into 'sinolife'... remote: Counting objects: 2783, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2199/2199), done. Connection to bitbucket.org closed by remote host.00 KiB/s
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

5. I also get a solution that there isn't enough swap memory. so i create a swap memory. At the beginning the swap is 0...After i config the swap, the free -m result is:

        total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
   

Mem: 993 930 63 0 21 57

-/+ buffers/cache: 851 142

Swap: 499 16 483

but i also get the some error.

$git pull

remote: Counting objects: 66, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (65/65), done.
Connection to bitbucket.org closed by remote host.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: unpack-objects failed

$git clone

Cloning into 'sinolife'...
remote: Counting objects: 2783, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2199/2199), done.
Connection to bitbucket.org closed by remote host.00 KiB/s     
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

6. also The remote end hung up unexpectedly while git cloning, follow the step ,but error come again. the following is my git config file

$git config -l

http.postbuffer=524288000
user.email= [email protected]
core.compression=0
core.compression=-1
core.compression=-1
core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=false
core.logallrefupdates=true
core.compression=-1
core.packedgitlimit=512m
core.packedgitwindowsize=512m
remote.origin.url= my repository
remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
branch.master.remote=origin
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
pack.deltacachesize=2047m
pack.packsizelimit=2047m
pack.windowmemory=2047m

7. my environment:

   uname -a

   Linux VM-87-192-ubuntu 3.13.0-86-generic #131-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 23:33:13 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

   git --version

   git version 2.11.0

8. hope some one can help me give my some hint.

9. question abstract

i have a git repository, and already cloned in the server, but when git pull

remote: Counting objects: 66, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (65/65), done.
Connection to bitbucket.org closed by remote host.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: unpack-objects failed

when start a new clone git clone

Connection to bitbucket.org closed by remote host.00 KiB/s     
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Answer 1

You can fix the problem by choosing EITHER of these to increase postBuffer size:

In terminal:

$ git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000

OR modify gitconfig file:

$ vim ~/.gitconfig # open gitconfig with ur favorite IDE

Add the following lines to at the end of gitconfig file:

[http]
        postBuffer = 1048576000
