Hello, I am having the following error when I try to git push. rdarder@shiny:~/Sources/promotoras$ git push origin ranto:ranto Counting objects: 256, done. Compressing objects: 100% (199/199), done. Writing objects: 100% (213/213), 216.94 KiB, done.

[remote rejected] ranto -> ranto (n/a (unpacker error)) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://fherrero@10.7.1.20:2222/var/www/promotoras.git' I couldn't find any significant description on the error "cannot write keep file". git-fsck passes without errors in both repositories, and I find no permission problems. Can anyone give me some directions on how to diagnose this?If you have access to the receiving side of the repository and the machine that hosts it, the debug patch attached may help. One possibility is the receiving repository was initialized long time ago with an ancient git (ealier than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create "pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), and never had a packfile in it since then. We started creating '.git/objects/pack/' subdirectory in git-init only after that commit. It was Ok for a long time because we lazily create "pack" subdirectory as needed, but a recent change 8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22) carelessly assumed that .git/objects/pack/ directory would always exist and tries to create files in there without making sure the leading directories exist. See $gmane/110621
The receiving repository was indeed lacking a .git/objects/pack/ directory, but it was created with a recent (1.5.4.3) git version. I suspect the repo owner has deleted de dir by mistake or something. Thank you very much for your help.
