We use GitHub to host all my projects, and we've got a 6GB soft-limit. A few days ago, there were many files added to the repository which should not have been added (such as images, movies, etc.) which pushed the repository size to 2.4G:

$ du -sh .git
2,4G    .git

These changes were pushed to GitHub, but the Disk Usage there increased by almost 2 times the size of the .git folder. How is that possible? Am I missing something here? I always thought that the size of the repository was the same as the size of the .git folder.

I'm trying to set up a mod_proxy - mongrel combination, but somehow, apache/mod_proxy is unable to access mongrel locally. The following is my configuration for mod_proxy:

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On

<Location />
        ProxyPass http://localhost:3000/
        ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:3000/
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
</Location>

Mongrel/Rails ist running just fine, because I can access it from my browser, and even with lynx on the server.

However, I get the following error when trying to use the proxy:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] Invalid Content-Length

I would appreciate any help :D

PS: Oh, and the server is running Plesk to configure vhosts, if thats important.

Ok, I'm having the exact same problem as in this question outbound ftp on server 2008 r2 stalls but the accepted answer didn't help me much...

I followed the third step of this http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/309/configuring-ftp-firewall-settings/ guide in order to configure my firewall for FTP, and I am able to authenticate, however, the data channel doesn't seem to be passing through the firewall. If I disable the firewall, everything works fine. Hope someone can help me, as this is really starting to annoy me.

Is there a way to add a directory structure to an SVN repository without adding the files contained in the folders?
