Git 2.38.0 broke Bitbucket

[smblair]

Earlier today, I updated git from 2.37.1-1 to 2.38.0-1 as part of monthly patching. Following that, Bitbucket was upgraded from 8.4.1 to 8.5.0. It failed to start with Spring framework errors. Restoring Atlassian from last night's backup did not fix it. After reviewing the Atlassian logs and yum.log, I reverted git, git-core and perl-Git, all of version 2.38.0 to 2.37.1. Bitbucket now works fine. I installed yum-versionlock and pinned them until another version appears that can be tested or some resolution is found here. Version 2.38.0 breaks both 8.4.1 and 8.5.0.

Anyone else experience this?

Hi,

What you're experiencing is the reason why Bitbucket Server 8.5 does not support anything newer than git 2.37, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/supported-platforms-776640981.html#Supportedplatforms-dvcsDVCS
