Hi @Nagaraja (MicroGenesis TechSoft),

I see that you created a support ticket for this issue and my colleague who is working on the ticket has asked for the repo URL to check for large files and dangling commits. You will receive further updates in the support ticket.

Kind regards,
Theodora

I encountered an error while attempting to clone a repository in BitBucket using 'bare clone'. However, I was able to successfully push the same repository into GitLab using 'bare clone' and 'mirror push'. I then ran the command ['git', 'clone', '--bare', URL] and it worked without any issues.

Could you please help me understand why it's not functioning properly in Betabucket?

I ran the 'get config --list' command but the 'pack.windowMemory' option is not available in the output.
The memory usage limit has been set to a high value.
