Why does a “git push” just hang there indefinitely using MySysGit 1.7.4?

Question

I tried small experiments with Ruby and Rails, and would like to push and pull from the Mac to PC and vice verse.

So I installed what the Git\'s website\'s standard

Answer 1

Apparently due to a bug in msysgit, that prevents it from pushing to git-daemon.

I was stuck on this myself. You can either install cygwin git (worked for me) or use ssh-based repo (worked for me as well, but i installed the remote repo on linux and used gitolite)

Answer 2

They have just released a version that allows a config option to stop git hanging.

Fix is for https://github.com/msysgit/git/issues/101 in release https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/tag/Git-1.9.4-preview20140611

You can fix it by setting

git config --global sendpack.sideband false
