Push failed after cleaning the repo. Followed the same steps as mentioned on the page.

  1. git clone --mirror ssh://git@git.trading.com:2222/repo.git
  2. cd repo.git
  3. java -jar ../bfg.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 29M --protect-blobs-from 0.0.1,0.0.2,1.1.5,2.5.0,2.6.2,2.9.0,2.9.1,2.9.2,3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2,3.1.0,3.1.1,3.1.2,3.2.0,3.2.1,3.2.2,3.3.0-DEVELOP,3.3.1-DEVELOP,3.3.2-DEVELOP,3.4.0-DEVELOP,3.4.1-DEVELOP,3.4.2-DEVELOP,3.5.0-DEVELOP,3.5.1-DEVELOP,ARC_341_branchTest,master
  4. git reflog expire --expire=now --all
  5. git gc --prune=now --aggressive
  6. git push image

Please help , how to fix this issue. I have checked the permission on the project. On branch master merge is allowed for maintainer. And i am a maintainer of the project which means i can push to the repo.

Regards, Kamal Rajput

One or more of your branches/tags are marked as protected: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/protected_branches.html To rewrite history on a branch it must not be listed as protected.

After removing all the branches from protected , i was able to push the code on gitlab. But the problem is that it has added extra objects on my repo and the size has increased from 6.5gb to 6.8gb.

But the wierd fact is that when i tried to clone the project on my local,size of repo is 800mb. I saw this problem has been faced by many of us but no actual solution has been provided to solve it.

Can anyone please help here. Is it a bug on GITLAB or something from bfg side.

There's a number of similar issues discussed here. Often pull/merge requests holding on to old histories have to be deleted. I fresh project for the cleaned repo might even be required.

it should be specified in the doc's isn't it?

it should be specified in the doc's isn't it? Maybe. You could propose a PR. But this kind of thing is Git-hosting-provider specific.
