At some point between 2023-04-05 and 2023-04-19, my automatic builds started failing on the first try because of errors when pushing to gh-pages. Running the build again always succeeds, but why is it failing in the first place? It only started happening within the past few weeks.

The given error message is

git : remote: Resolving deltas:   0% (0/3)

    It's because the last git push command writes some output to StdErr which is treated as an exception by built-in PowerShell host in build agent.

    Try moving that command out of that PS command into a separate, like:

    before_deploy:
- ps: >-
    $env:PACKAGE_VERSION=(Get-Content MUSHclient\AardwolfPackageChanges.txt)[2].split()[0]
...
    git add index.html 2>&1 | write-host
    git add unzip_upgrading.html 2>&1 | write-host
    git commit -q -m "automatic rev update $env:PACKAGE_VERSION"
- git push -q origin gh-pages

    Any idea why it only started happening recently? I've been using the same config for years.

    My guess would be Git upgraded in the image multiple times. Could be changes in output of recent Git versions.
