Pushing Large Number of Tags: Pre-Receive hook Declined

Some users may received pre-receive hook declined errors when pushing a large number of tags.

Cause

The number of tags surpasses the buffer size available for processing hooks.

Symptoms

When trying to push a large number of tags, Stash rejects the push with a pre-receive hook declined error similar to the following example:

$ git push --tags stash

... remote rejected continues ...
! [remote rejected] mstr-5113 -> mstr-5113 (pre-receive hook declined)

Resolution

  1. Double the Stash buffer size by using stash-config.properties and hook.callback.buffer.capacity=10485760

  2. Restart Stash.
