git upload-archive archiver died with error
Symptoms
When using 'git archive' from a remote machine to Bitbucket Server as shown below only works with tags or HEAD, but not the commit id.
$ git archive -o testing.tar --remote=ssh://git@<server>:7999/<project>/testing.git --format=tar 3a8de704c0da882cf8ddc1fecda4621062c48870
fatal: sent error to the client: git upload-archive: archiver died with error
remote: fatal: no such ref: 3a8de704c0da882cf8ddc1fecda4621062c48870
remote: git upload-archive: archiver died with error
Cause
According to Git 1.7.8.1 release notes:
"git archive" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits that are not at the tip of any ref.
Resolution
This is an expected behaviour for the newest versions of Git. Remote Git repositories do not allow clients to access arbitrary SHA1s. The requested objects should be accessed by a ref (i.e. file name).
