Actually  the easiest way to determine the error is to use  Git Sync      then perform a pull push from there - the error message is far more meaningful  i e  there is one  and at least in my case  my -1 was due to a network path issue

Actually  this error message just says that there is some problem but no specifications of the problem  So  in my case  it was a pending pull request  I pulled the changes into my repo  and then pushed it again and it worked  Moreover  if there is an error on tortoisegit  I prefer to do the same on console  Console gives more detail error message

This is Just because you have made changes on your remote repository which was not pulled on your local repository   To resolve simply 1  Pull from remote repository to local repository  It will not undo any changes locally  It will just update local repository  2  Now push the changes to remote repository  It will work

For My case i did 3 steps to achieve the sucessful build    revert all the local changes if any  or just keep a copy of it in case you need it for future use  Do a git clean up  do a pull and check the logs for error  GO to the git bash option and  the error i was getting in log in above stem  i my case   as  error  cannot lock ref and the branch details   so in the git bash i ran the following command git update-ref -d  Branch name    For example if the error was something like       ISSUE     error  cannot lock ref  refs remotes origin EXMPLEISSUE EXAMPLE-1011 DEMO web interface DOES NOT GET GIT UPDATE     Then i ran following command  git update-ref -d  refs remotes origin EXMPLEISSUE EXAMPLE-1011 DEMO web interface DOES NOT GET GIT UPDATE    We have to ensure all the error in logs to be solved similarly before getting a successful pull  by doing  git update-ref -d  Branch name  and finally  i can get the take the successful pull from git

I was heard that  one of the reasons is   the project is too large  so increasing the post buffer could solve the problem  so open the editSystemWideGitConfig  and add the following statements under  http    postBuffer   524288000  maybe work
