Hello, I am an employee with Red Hat. This is my issue with pushing the Linux kernel: Steps to reproduce: 1) Create an empty repo on gitlab 2) clone the kernel: git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 3) Add your remote to user gitlab 4) git push user master I get this 500 error: `>$ git push jwyatt-rh master Enumerating objects: 10217808, done.
