Hello,

I'm currently getting the following error:

Build failed: Failed to read from repository

I've just recreated my solution (it was part of a bigger solution) and integrated Postmark. All is working fine locally, but the Postmark library/project (https://github.com/danielcrenna/postmark-dotnet) might cause the build process to fail at AppHarbor?

Kind regards,
Mikkel

   This might have been a glitch on our end. Could I get you to retry? Here's how to trigger a new build.

   I've just tried that. Same error. I've also tried to push some new changes. No luck.

   Are you using Git submodules in your repo? That is known to not work with the Git library we use.

   Hmm, weird. The above is an email reply.

   As far as I know, I'm not using any submodules. I'm on a default Git installation on Mac, if that's to any use?

   Is there an 'ø' in your Git user name, by any chance? That has caused problems for our Git library before.

   Yes. But that's how it's been since I first started using AppHarbor, and I haven't experienced any problems with it before. It's also working fine on other applications.

   I've changed my Git user name (ø -> oe) and pushed some changes. No change :(

    Is this an artefact of the particular AppHarbor application and associated repo (i.e. do you think it would work if you created a new AppHarbor application and pushed to that instead) or is it an artefact of the code you are pushing (i.e. does the application work if you push different code to the same repo, perhaps using -f)?

    I've created a new AppHarbor application and pushed my solution to it, which gave me the same error. I then pushed (-f) a new solution to the new AppHarbor application, which worked. I also pushed (-f) the new solution to my existing AppHarbor application, which also worked.

    So I'm guessing it has something to with the code I'm pushing. I'll try and remove the Postmark code and see what happens.

    Ok, it didn't have anything to do with the code, as far as I know.

    I've recreated the repo for my solution and pushed that instead. Everything seems to work fine now.

    Just weird that it happened in the first place. The repo must somehow have been corrupted.

    OK, weird -- we'll take an extra look. Thanks for helping us debug this.
