broken pipe error when cloning megavista

[cgratton]

Hi all,

Has anyone placed megavista in their home directory on plata yet? I was trying to set up my megavista directory today (via logging into Plata on my laptop through Airbears) and was getting the following error:

Cloning into megavista...
remote: Counting objects: 5935, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5228/5228), done.
fatal: write error: Input/output error.04 MiB | 116 KiB/s
fatal: write error: Broken pipe

Has anyone else run into this problem? I googled it a bit and it looks like it might have something to do with too small of a "post buffer" and that it can be fixed be entering:
git config http.postBuffer 524288000

I ended up just cloning the repository through a desktop computer, so I'm not sure this will solve the problem, but in case anyone else runs into it...

Another method for putting megavista into any directory is to just copy the folder from another location (this folder would include the .git files). For example, I got megavista onto my Plata home directory by copying it from my laptop.
