Selective synchronization restrictions are implemented on the **secondary** nodes,
not the **primary** node.
### Git operations on unreplicated respositories
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2562) in GitLab 12.10.
Git clone, pull, and push operations over HTTP(S) are supported for repositories that
exist on the **primary** node but not on **secondary** nodes. This situation can occur
when:
- Selective synchronization does not include the project attached to the repository.
- The repository is actively being replicated but has not completed yet.
SSH [support is planned](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2562).
## Upgrading Geo

This list of limitations only reflects the latest version of GitLab. If you are using an older version, extra limitations may be in place.
- Pushing directly to a **secondary** node redirects (for HTTP) or proxies (for SSH) the request to the **primary** node instead of [handling it directly](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/1381), except when using Git over HTTP with credentials embedded within the URI. For example, `https://user:password@secondary.tld`.
- Cloning, pulling, or pushing repositories that exist on the **primary** node but not on the **secondary** nodes where [selective synchronization](configuration.md#selective-synchronization) does not include the project is not supported over SSH [but support is planned](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2562). HTTP(S) is supported.
- The **primary** node has to be online for OAuth login to happen. Existing sessions and Git are not affected.
- The installation takes multiple manual steps that together can take about an hour depending on circumstances. We are working on improving this experience. See [Omnibus GitLab issue #2978](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/2978) for details.
- Real-time updates of issues/merge requests (for example, via long polling) doesn't work on the **secondary** node.
