Pushing repository to GitLab: RPC failed

I have already set up the values for my client TortoiseGit:

git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000

and also set up nginx on my server where GitLab is installed (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf):

client_max_body_size 1500m;

Making sure that after that I executed:

sudo service nginx restart

This is the output from TortoiseGIT when I try to push my files to an existing repository that I created first using my GitLab administration website:

Counting objects: 964, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (955/955), done.
Writing objects: 100% (964/964), 421.21 MiB | 14.45 MiB/s, done.
Total 964 (delta 426), reused 0 (delta 0)
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 413
Everything up-to-date

And then I check on my gitlab and I can see that my project is empty, nothing uploaded succesfully.

¿What else could be happening? I have been trying for hours to get this fixed and there is nothing else that comes to my mind. Thanks a lot.

I just ran into what appears to be an identical issue. I don't know if what you describe is treated the same or not but here's the steps I took that led to a successful 1GB repo push.

The first things I tried were like many others but listing here just in case it was a combined effort.

Local Dev Computer:

git config --global http.postBuffer 2097152000

I made this crazy high out of desperation. Tho.. I believe I read the max was around 500 MB or 200 MB. I don't recall.

On Server Hosting GitLab:

sudo gitlab-ctl deploy-page up

sudo vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

I found this line in gitlab.rb file...

# nginx['client_max_body_size'] = '250m'

and changed it to...

nginx['client_max_body_size'] = '2048m'

My repo was a little over a 1 GB so I gave it some breathing room.

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

sudo gitlab-ctl deploy-page down

I then ran 

git push -u origin master

Held my breath.

Then waited a little longer as it was longer than I could hold my breath.

Then Finally Success!!

This might not be the solution for you. But this worked out for me. Hopefully it can help someone.
