(Get the code!)
There was a bug in an old version of paramiko such that doing an "append" actually caused a write to occur at the beginning of the file.
the "B1109" is saying that what follows is a byte-stream of length 1109. And it sounds like whatever he is doing is causing the pack header to either
a) Not be written, or
b) Get overwritten
What does he use to do the his push? (bzr+ssh, network mount, sftp, etc?)
I would guess he hasn't corrupted any existing packs, because we don't write into them. Though it is possible his client wanted to do an autopack and would copy data across, etc.
Certainly something serious seems to be happening if we are saying "Append these 50 bytes" and it is being turned into "write these 50 bytes at the beginning of the file".
