Cannot push large repository to remote site

[John Turner]

Seconded - IIS is byzantine, and besides SSL-specific issues, request/web
service throttling is another issue I've had to deal with on it in the past.

It appears your repo is within the IIS default at least for
maxAllowedContentLength ~ 28.6MB (per
https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/requestfiltering/requestlimits)
but it may be worth looking into those settings.
