index-packed failure after git daemon restart

[Vincent LADEVEZE]

Hi there,

I installed Git for Windows 2.9 on a Windows Server 8 R2 Entreprise Service Pack 1 with "Checkout Windows-style, commi Unix-style line ending" option.

I launch Git Daemon from Windows command prompt :

> git daemon --base-path=E:\web_server\git_repositories\ --reuseaddr --export-all --verbose --enable=receive-pack E:\web_server\git_repositories\

I created bare repositories for test. I tried to clone and push with Git protocol localy from the Server and from a LAN computer (Windows and Linux VM). There is the following behaviour :

• Localy (git://localhost/...)  : clone and push are ok even if I restart Git Daemon.
• Remote                           : clone and push are ok untill I restart Git Daemon. Then, I have the following failure cloning an existing repositories :

$ git clone --verbose git://my-remote-server/test.git

Cloning into 'test'...

Looking up my-remote-server ... done.

Connecting to my-remote-server (port 9418) ... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx done.

fatal: read error: Invalid argument

fatal: early EOF

fatal: index-pack failed

===> Pull and push from existing repositories copies are still possible.

===> Clone and push from brand new repositories created after Git Daemon restart are also possible.

Well, it seems that, now, daemon restart is not such a good stuff for Git On Windows...

I tried a stackoverflow workaround on my Git conf about incorrectly sized repositories :

[core] 
packedGitLimit = 512m 
packedGitWindowSize = 512m 
[pack] 
deltaCacheSize = 2047m 
packSizeLimit = 2047m 
windowMemory = 2047m

and

git config --global core.compression 0

but it did not change anything.

Does anybody have found the problem already? Did I miss something on my Git server configuration?

Regards.

PS : My code will not be safely stored cause the WIndows Server will restart maybe one day (or an other...)
