Symptoms

When pushing a large number of tags, Stash rejects the push with a pre-receive hook declined error.

$ git push --tags stash

 ! [remote rejected] mstr-5113 -> mstr-5113 (pre-receive hook declined)

Cause

The number of tags exceeds the buffer size available for processing hooks.

Resolution

  • Double the buffer size by adding the following to $STASH_HOME/shared/stash-config.properties:

    stash-config.properties
    ...
    hook.callback.buffer.capacity=10485760 
    ...
  • Restart Stash after making this change
