[maemo-developers] git push problem at git.maemo.org

[From: Benoît HERVIER]

Hi,

So for migrating from svn to git this doesn't seems related. I still
see svn on mSaber and PyGTKEditor where conversion fail due to fact
that svn was never used.

https://git.maemo.org/svn2git_logs/svn2git_request_pygtkeditor.log
https://git.maemo.org/svn2git_logs/svn2git_request_msaber.log

And the error was the same this morning ...
https://git.maemo.org/svn2git_logs/svn2git_request_mbluead.log

Thanks for help
