Sourcetree, cannot clone/pull anymore. sh.exe.stackdump

[Anders Hvid]

Well since yesterday I haven't been able to Clone any new Repos and I haven't been able to pull from any of the once I have been using. Everything worked fine before but it seems (to me) that it randomly stopped working.

I also noticed a file named "sh.exe.stackdump" is being created in every repo I have cloned, no idea where it came from

Here is an example of an error I get when I'm Cloning, I have no idea what they mean so I was hoping to get some help here :)

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false clone --recursive https://github.com/UglyOldGuy/BoL e:\Users\Saftsnubben\Desktop\Buckets\Test
Cloning into 'e:\Users\Saftsnubben\Desktop\Buckets\Test'...

Completed with errors, see above.

Nevermind, somehow solved it by reinstalling sourcetree.

Even if the Question is old.
Update the embedded Git-Version via

Tools => Options => Git => Update embedded Git

helps.

This saved my bacon! Everyone of the other solutions I found did nothing.

Yeah, I started see this sh.exe.stackdump in every folder, updating embedded Git solved this.

Thanks!

Tried re-booting, re-installing source tree did not help.  But updating the embedded Git did it. You saved my day

I recently ran into this, and I was able to determine that Removing or Deleting the sh.exe.stackdump file causes this error. 

So far, the only solution I can find is  

1) Uninstalling SourceTree and anything to do with Git.

2) Restarting the computer

3) Re-installing everything you unistalled

This is the only solution that worked for me; thanks.

Adding another solution:  I downloaded Git directly (2.19.1) and then in SourceTree switched from [Embedded] to [System].  This worked for me.

Why? Because I tried the [Update Embedded] option (twice) and it wouldn't finish.  Or, rather, it finished (no errors) but did not change the version of the embedded Git despite restarting SourceTree.
