git unpack error on push to gerrit
On push of a new branch to a gerrit server we encounter the following error:

We tried to copy the mentioned tree object to the remote git manually without success.
On gerrit side we get a stacktrace:

Folks: any ideas what to do?
Solution 1:
Pushing with --no-thin argument works as a workaround for me:
git push --no-thin omnigerrit HEAD:refs/for/android-4.4
Solution 2:
Are you using git > 1.8.4.2 ?
I found incompatibility between git 1.8.4.3+ and gerrit 2.6, because of https://github.com/git/git/commit/fbd4a7036dfa71ec89e7c441cef1ac9aaa59a315
With this enhancement, if git finds out that the tree sha1 already exists in the server, it wont send it again, but gerrit wants to search the tree sha1 associated with the commit sha1 in the uploaded pack.
It looks like I cannot reproduce it with gerrit 2.8-rc3, not with latest version of scm-manager. I would say this has been resolved in jgit, but cannot find which version yet.
Solution 3:
my case
I also encounter this problem too, and this take a long time to fix this problem.
First, I notice one error info in gerrit log:
Internal server error (user newptone account 1) during git-receive-pack '/neutron.git'
com.google.gerrit.sshd.BaseCommand$Failure: fatal: Unpack error, check server log
......
... Missing unknown 613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08
What is 613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08 object?
Then I use git review -l to search all opened patchset for this project neutron:
1974 master Add two interfaces for manipulate forwarding individually
Then I find this patchset in gerrit dashboard by searching, I click the link and it seems error:
613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08 cannot found
Aha, that's the reason!
But why this object missing?
The reason is my colleague tell me neutron project will use a new repo to replace the old, I delete the the old repo but didn't close all open patchset in gerrit. The open patchset will disappear in gerrit dashboard, but it still exist in gerrit database.
how to fix it
Login in your reviewdb sql and find this record:
First, make sure this is the one we want to modify:
select * from changes where change_id=1974\G;
Then update this record:
update changes set open='N',status='A' where change_id=1974;
Solution 4:
I just encountered this error as well.
For my scenario, I was attempting to push an amended commit where none of the files had changed since the last time the same commit was pushed. I literally had just amended the commit message for the change, and attempted to push again. No files as part of the commit changed.
My push was rejected with the same error message you posted.
It seemed that Gerrit did not like a push with no changes other than the amended commit message.
I literally made a one character change to a file, added the file, amended the commit again, and pushed, and the push succeeded.
I'm using git == 1.8.4.2
Solution 5:
I had this problem today and tried all the suggestions. Finally the solution was very simple:
- Switch to another branch (e.g. develop).
- Pull from the remote repository
- Switch back to your new branch and push.
With any luck it'll work now.
