Dear Fab Friends,
Maybe my issue is out-of -context here. In the case, please tell me where to go. Who is in charge of our gitlab site currently?
My issue is: When pushing updates to a repository on https://gitlab.fabcloud.org, I receive a fatal error message: “pack exceeds maximum allowed size” (see screenshot below).
What means “pack” in this context? Does such a concept need a maximum size? If so, what is the actual size, and how can I work around it?
Please advice.
Not completely sure but try to check with this:
hope it helps 
ps. it says maximum size is 100mb
Hi Stavros,
Thank you for your fast response.
Indeed, the actual branch plus .git counts for 300+ MB. So, that must be the cause of the problem.
I will split my project into smaller ones, replace resource collections with outbound links where appropriate and double check for video files etc
All the best from Amsterdam

Fabcloud has a “maximum push size” of 10MB, which could be what is causing the issue. I see you were trying to push 4 commits, so you could try to break up your changes into multiple smaller commits and then maybe push commits individually (ie. git push master :master)?
