So I am trying to use git push on a fairly large repo, but it always seems to get stuck at the end at POST git-receive-pack (71245363 bytes). I have tried this solution but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Thanks in advance...
$ git push origin master --verbose

Pretty old question, but I wanted to give closure since I've long since fixed this.
Previous to me trying to push my repo, I had accidentally committed a very big file and, trying to resolve the issue, proceeded to delete it and create another commit.
What I didn't know is that, even if you delete it afterwards, git still keeps a record of that file and that commit, and it still needs to push it.
The solution was thus to "undo" the last commit, by running something such as this:
$ git reset --hard HEAD~1
This will put our head back one commit. The --hard argument just means we want to discard all the changes we introduced, instead of preserving them.
Hope this helps someone somewhere, and have a nice evening!
