+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
+increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
+runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::
+
+    git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
