Re: [egit-dev] Missing tree/blob <hash> when trying to push

[Sascha Vogt <sascha.vogt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

whilst true, that with the dummy repo I sent to Chris, the push works
against Gitblit 1.6.1, this doesn't hold true if I use our internal
repository which I saved the states initially. This still fails even
when I run it against Gitblit 1.6.1, though serving that repo via Gerrit
2.9, the push succeeds.

Btw. in the last few days, I had colleagues who also reported that issue
when pushing to our Gerrit instance. So I guess it might happen there as
well.

In addition, it now happens more frequently. I can only guess that it's
due to colleagues updating to 3.5 (for the client) and that for whatever
reason in EGit 3.4 this happens less frequently.

Anyway, we will upgrade Gitblit to 1.6.1 soon.
I'll also check if I can switch JGit to 3.5.1 in Gerrit without breaking
it (it uses 3.4.0-m7 in 2.9.x and 3.4.0-r in 2.10-rc0).

Last but not least: Huge thanks to all involved, hopefully I'll see you
sometime and buy you a beer or whatever's your favorite beverage :)

Greetings
-Sascha-
