Issue 1333: Confusing error message when Git object size > maxObjectSizeLimit
Status:  Released
Owner: ----
Closed:  Jun 2012
Reported by eldroi...@gmail.com, Apr 17, 2012
Affected Version: 2.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set maxObjectSizeLimit in gerrit.config to some number
2. Restart the server 
3. Create a commit that includes a file > maxObjectSizeLimit
4. Try pushing this commit

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The push fails (expected). However the Git Bash error message says the following:
fatal: Unpack error, check server log
fatal: sha1 file '<stdout>' write error: Invalid argument

In error_log I can see the JGit error that the object is too big. 

Git Bash error doesn't provide much information. It would be great if the JGit error would be displayed instead.
