BitBucket has stopped showing "new" files and is not deleting "deleted" files

Anne Richardson

I've been successfully pushing to my BitBucket account from git via the command line for a month or so and now today, I'm experiencing a strange change in what files are visible in the file tree and via direct url. I've been unable to find a setting to correct this. What I'm seeing:

• "new" files are not appearing in the repository file tree
• "new" files do not "exist" if I model the file path of an existing file and try to go to this file directly (ex: `https://bitbucket.org/username/repo_name/src/master/app/controllers/file_name.rb`)
• deleted files are still appearing in the repository file tree
• existing files that have had changes do reflect the changes
• clicking on a commit sha link will show the new files in the context of the commit
• the "last updated" time is accurate to my last push from my local `master` to my BitBucket `master`, so I know I'm still connected

Any suggestions?

The problem was most likely that there were dangling commits in my repo. It appears to have been resolved by running `git gc` (garbage collection).
