I have a bash script that does the following:
git push lfs --all
git push --mirror <remote>
Can this happen due to azure api rate limits? Is there any way of knowing whether that is the case?
The git push --mirror process spawns a child process, and it spawns another child process in turn, strace of those processes doesn't print anything after this:

The issue with
git push --mirrorhanging could be due to Azure API rate limits, large repository size, or authentication failures.To migrate a Git repo with LFS correctly,
- Clone the source repo as a bare repository:
git clone --bare <source-repo-url> cd <repo-name>.gitA
barerepository is required to include all branches, tags, and references in the migration.- Create a new empty target repository.
- Push the full repository (branches, tags, history) to the target repo,
git push --mirror <target-repo-url>- If the push hangs, enable debugging with
GIT_TRACE=1orGIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1, and for large repositories, increasehttp.postBufferusing
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000- Fetch and push LFS objects separately,
git lfs fetch origin --all git lfs push --all <target-repo-url>- Ensure LFS is enabled in the target repo before pushing.
Please refer this MSdoc for better understanding of managing and storing large files in Git.
Refer to this GitHub doc for details on mirroring a repository that contains Git Large File Storage (LFS) objects.
Hope it helps.
