Push to a Mercurial repository (bitbucket) produces "Request Entity Too Large" ??

Question

What does it mean when you try to push to a Mercurial repository on Bitbucket and it produces the response:

abort: HTTP Error 413: Request Entity Too Large

Answer 1

Looks like BitBucket has a size limit on HTTP uploads and you are exceeding them. It is probably a large file that you are uploading that is breaking things. Try excluding that one file and see what happens.

Answer 2

Consider asking this the bitbucket team. In the meanwhile you could try using ssh access instead of http.
