remote: fatal: no such ref: a2501e8bea4b8fea43f55b780a692809207a0260

remote: git upload-archive: archiver died with error

fatal: sent error to the client: git upload-archive: archiver died with error

where as the reference exist..!!

Please help

What is the command that you are running?

I don't have any trouble with "git archive" but it doesn't try to upload anything:

$ git archive -o latest.zip ae6c3bc47

$ ls -lh latest.zip 

-rw-rw-r-- 1 atsaloli atsaloli 1.1K Feb 21 07:23 latest.zip

$ 

Best,

Aleksey

Got it.  Git does this by design -- see the excellent answer at https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/9243/git-acrhive-remote-does-not-work which links to the Git source code showing that Git only accepts refs (e.g. HEAD or branchname) here, not SHA1's.

P.S. This restriction was implemented in 1.7.8.1:

Git v1.7.8.1 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.7.8
------------------

...

 * "git archive" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits
   that are not at the tip of any ref.
