Hi,

I am using git with Gitlab/Gitolite configuration. Git version is
1.7.9.5 in Ubuntu 12.04. There has been a consistent git crash
recently and have attached the /var/crash/_usr_lib_git-core_
git.1001.crash file.

The crash output is pasted in the following link

http://pastebin.com/uAQS81BX

I removed some long binary information at the end of the file as
pastebin does not allow more than 500k pasting. The crash is
consistently happening and I am planning on for a debian deployment of
gitlab.

Can you tell us what command you ran, and also try to get a readable
backtrace from your installation?

It seems that the paste would have contained a core dump (you snipped
it9, but it would be pretty useless without the corresponding binary
anyway.  Once you have the coredump in hand (as a file) you can use

  gdb $(which git) the_coredump_file

and then in the GDB prompt, enter 'backtrace' and paste its output, to
give us an idea what is going on.
