Hg Push Fails

Question

Hello I have recently created a new repository and i have been adding and removing files without any issues. Creating branches, pulling and pushing had been working fine. All of a sudden now i can't commit any more. I only have one commit that consists of 6 images in new folder. I am using Mercurial with SSH connection and SourceTree. Since sourcetree is not giving me much in the way of outpu I started using the terminal within the app to get more verbose logs. This is the output i get: C:\REDACTED\Trunk>hg push -v --debug --traceback pushing to ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/REDACTED/REDACTED running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\SourceTree ools\putty\plink.exe" -ssh -i "C:\Users\REDACTED\private.ppk" hg@bitbucket.org "hg -R REDACTED/REDACTED serve --stdio" sending hello command sending between command remote: 145 remote: capabilities: lookup changegroupsubset branchmap pushkey known getbundle unbundlehash batch stream unbundle=HG10GZ,HG10BZ,HG10UN httpheader=1024 remote: 1 query 1; heads sending batch command searching for changes all remote heads known locally sending branchmap command sending branchmap command preparing listkeys for "bookmarks" sending listkeys command 1 changesets found list of changesets: 35f85d884fa5750f8042b2e14be51d2ddbd78f8d sending unbundle command bundling: 1/1 changesets (100.00%) bundling: 1/1 manifests (100.00%) bundling: Assets/Models/_Prototype/Textures/Barbarian_Belt_Low_d.tga 1/6 files (16.67%) Traceback (most recent call last): File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 88, in _runcatch File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 771, in _dispatch File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 540, in runcommand File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 866, in _runcommand File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 837, in checkargs File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 766, in File "mercurial\util.pyc", line 506, in check File "mercurial\commands.pyc", line 4642, in push File "mercurial\localrepo.pyc", line 1857, in push File "mercurial\wireproto.pyc", line 306, in unbundle File "mercurial\sshpeer.pyc", line 172, in _callpush File "mercurial\sshpeer.pyc", line 205, in _send IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument abort: Invalid argument Exception IOError: (22, 'Invalid argument') in > ignored Do you have any idea of what I can do to be able to push again? Edit: Additional info: I tried to add each of the six image files individually to varying degrees of success. When the operation failed the results were the same, but I found out tha if I kept trying on the console with the exact same commands it will eventually go through, this could take dozens of attempts and hours of trying so it is obviously not a solution and the output was this: C:\REDACTED\Trunk>hg push -v --debug --traceback pushing to ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/REDACTED/REDACTED running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\SourceTree ools\putty\plink.exe" -ssh -i "C:\Users\REDACTED\private.ppk" hg@bitbucket.org "hg -R REDACTED/REDACTED serve --stdio" sending hello command sending between command remote: 145 remote: capabilities: lookup changegroupsubset branchmap pushkey known getbundle unbundlehash batch stream unbundle=HG10GZ,HG10BZ,HG10UN httpheader=1024 remote: 1 query 1; heads sending batch command searching for changes all remote heads known locally sending branchmap command sending branchmap command preparing listkeys for "bookmarks" sending listkeys command 1 changesets found list of changesets: 86cb2d4de1e3b06d6bc9a163e2c88613ffe31bd9 sending unbundle command bundling: 1/1 changesets (100.00%) bundling: 1/1 manifests (100.00%) bundling: Assets/Models/_Prototype/Textures/Barbarian_Body_Low_d.tga 1/2 files (50.00%) bundling: Assets/Models/_Prototype/Textures/Barbarian_Pauldron_L_Low_d.tga 2/2 files (100.00%) preparing listkeys for "phases" sending listkeys command preparing pushkey for "phases:86cb2d4de1e3b06d6bc9a163e2c88613ffe31bd9" sending pushkey command try to push obsolete markers to remote checking for updated bookmarks preparing listkeys for "bookmarks" sending listkeys command remote: adding changesets remote: adding manifests remote: adding file changes remote: added 1 changesets with 2 changes to 2 files remote: Unable to use key file "C:\REDACTED\private.ppk" (unable to open file) I'm positive that my private key is working and loaded in Pageant. The problem persists with other commits.

I have the same problem on Mercurial 3.4.2 After several tries I am still unsuccessful. The changeset I am pushing is rather large, about 7500 files ~ 800M. My suspicion is that the sheer bulk is a contributing factor. searching for changes abort: Invalid argument Exception IOError: (22, 'Invalid argument') in > ignored

Hi,

Unfortunately I did not find a solution but I found a workaround while trouble shooting, in short it requires commiting and pushing from a different PC.

What I do now is:

* I continue to work on my development PC as usual. SourceTree is installed.
* My project's root directory is now "cloned" to a shared folder of y development PC.
* I have a laptop PC connected to the development PC via direct ethernet cable.
* The laptop PC also has SourceTree installed but instead of "cloning" its own copy of the repository, it just "opens" the existing clone from the shared folder in the development PC.
* I can Pull latest from either PC. I Commit and Push only from the laptop PC. Most of the time I do all my interactions with SourceTree from the laptop just to be safe.

Conclusion:

* I don't know what the problem is as SourceTree and Mercurial were installed the same way in both machines. The laptop runs windows 8 and the development PC runs windows 7. Both are 64-bit systems.
* I thinkn this is very unfortunate and there doesn't seem tobe anything else posted on this issue, I assume most people that run into this switch to different solution for source control as this is obviously not OK.
