    Deleting a reference generates errors

    When removing a reference, we get back this error message:

    $ git push origin :item
    X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
    remote: fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    Since it might be a while until an new version of gitolite is release and available in the repositories and a workaround has been integrated, let's close the artifact.

    Until the proposed patch land in the Gitolite repository, is released and available in EPEL Tuleap should deploy its own version of the VREF so users are not annoyed by this error.

    Hi,

    I allowed myself to rewrite the request in English. Even if the core maintainers understand French, Tuleap is an open source project. Opening an issue in French will severely reduce the number of people that can understand it so it less useful for the community. Please, keep things in English for the next times ;) .


    Back on the issue: the message you got about X11 forwarding is very likely related to a local configuration. You should check the configuration of your SSH client to not try to do X11 forwarding by default.

    For these lines, I'm able to reproduce:
    remote: fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
    remote: error: unable to find 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
    remote: fatal: Not a valid object name 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000


    The issue has been introduced by story #12326. The issue lies in fact in gitolite (the software Tuleap uses to manage accesses and ACL of Git repositories), the VREF MAX_NEWBIN_SIZE does not handle well the deletion of references. I will take a look to see what can be done.
