Hi,

I have used git for some time and regularly pushed changes to another
server (as some kind of backup), but today I got this error during
git push`:

fatal: cannot pread pack file: No such file or directory

Curious.  That is typically given for ENOENT but pread(2) would not
give that error according to

You didn't say what platform you are seeing the issue (the receiving
end of the "push"), but are you using Git on a pread-deficient
platform with emulation perhaps?
