Hanging at “POST git-receive-pack (chunked)”

Question

I will be honest, I know very little about the internals of git.

I have staged and commit a 40mb directory, but when I come to push...

$ git push --v         


        

Answer 1

Using SourceTree to push to BitBucket I get this error once every few months. It turns out that I just have to wait an extra five minutes and it sorts itself out. It looks like it has hanged and the temptation is to just cancel and try again but maybe hang in there a bit longer. I know that this is answered already but my commits amounted to maybe a couple of hundred kb rather than the 40mb the original poster is talking about.
