Hi there!

I'm trying to import an existing application into Heroku so I can show
it to my client for approval, and have been having no luck, either
with Git or the tarball method.  I'm at wit's end, and I'm sure my
client is getting impatient.  Here's what's happening.

1. Tarball method

I go to the directory directly above my app's root and create a
tarball.  When I import it into Heroku, either:
* the upload times out, or
* the upload goes through, but Heroku claims that it can't find a
Rails directory structure

2. Git method

I go to my app's root directory and type
git push [EMAIL PROTECTED]:<app>.git (with the appropriate name).
All seems to go well for a while (and --dry-run suggests that
everything is OK), but after about 60-100 MB of transfer or so, I get
the following error:

error: pack-objects died with strange error
error: failed to push some refs to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:<app>.git'

I suspect this is a network issue, since pushing the same data to a
local repository works fine.  But I've tried several different network
connections on this end (home, office, library...), all with the same
result.  Is Heroku limiting the size of incoming Git pushes, by any
chance?

The codebase is fairly large (a couple hundred MB).  However, even
when I've temporarily removed files to see if it's a size-related
issue, I still get the same errors.  There doesn't seem to be any way
to use straight FTP, rsync, or scp to import my app, either.  This is
extremely frustrating, since aside from these issues, Heroku is easily
the best solution for our needs at the moment.  Help?

(I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.4 [Intel] and Git 1.5.6.2.)

Thanks,
