Symptoms

When pushing a large amount of data, Bitbucket Server responds with This push is too large to process.

 
$ git push --tags bitbucket
Counting objects: 14216, done.
Delta compression using up to 12 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (5834/5834), done.
Writing objects: 100% (13883/13883), 652.76 MiB | 5.09 MiB/s, done.
Total 13883 (delta 9575), reused 11455 (delta 7654)
remote: This push is too large to process.
remote: Communication breakdown with Bitbucket Server.

Cause

This is caused by the amount of data exceeding the buffer size used when marshaling data between the SSH or HTTP socket and the Git process.

Resolution

  • Double the buffer size by adding the following to $BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/bitbucket.properties:

    bitbucket.properties
    # If using SSH for pushing add the following:
    plugin.bitbucket-scm-git.backend.ssh.buffer.size=65536
     
    # If using HTTP for pushing add the following:
    plugin.bitbucket-scm-git.backend.http.buffer.size=65536
