Cause

The errors "CRLF will be replaced by LF" and "bogus format in GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS " is a result of an incorrect upgrade of the git version. When the steps are not followed properly, it leads to a failed commit in the Bitbucket user interface.

Solution

To upgrade git on Bitbucket Server, the below steps should be followed which allow the new version of git to be compiled and installed on Bitbucket Server. Once done, a new version of Git needs to be utilized by using plugin.bitbucket-git.path.executable parameter by passing the complete path of the new git version directory within the bitbucket.properties file, available in <Bitbucket_Home>/shared path. These steps are advised by git itself.

Step1:   Install tar file for required git version.

Step2:   tar -zxf <git version tar file>
Example: tar -zxf git-2.8.0.tar.gz

Step3:   cd <git_extracted_directory_from_tar>
Example: cd git-2.8.0

Step4:   make configure

Step5:   ./configure --prefix=/usr

Step6:   make all doc info

Step7:   sudo make install install-doc install-html install-info
