Hi I'm having trouble setting up a public GIT repository. After using git-push everything works fine, but the repository is _big_ (261MB). But, I can clone it without any problem. If I "git-pack -a -d" and "git-prune-packed" it, the repository is nicely shrinked to 14MB _but_ I can't clone it anymore. It starts alright and seems to look for the pack, but it just hangs at that point... To illustrate this, I have made a "cp -lr" copy of that public tree [1], one as it was after git-push (well in fact, it it a packed/prune-packed one, unpacked again) and another which is packed/prune-packed (the 14MiB one). Trying to clone it shows this (both with git-clone and cg-clone): takis@poseidon:/tmp$ cg-clone http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264.git defaulting to local storage area Fetching head... Fetching objects... progress: 38 objects, 159434 bytes cg-clone: interrupted takis@poseidon:/tmp$ cg-clone http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git defaulting to local storage area Fetching head... Fetching objects... Getting alternates list for http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git/ Getting pack list for http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git/ progress: 0 objects, 0 bytes cg-clone: interrupted With the packed/prune-packed repository it just hangs with the "progress: 0 objects, 0 bytes" message. So, I decided to have look what might be going on, if any data was actually getting in and that I was maybe just being to impatient: takis@poseidon:/tmp/a$ ps x|grep git 18386 pts/9 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /home/takis/bin/git-clone http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git 18400 pts/9 S+ 0:00 git-http-fetch -v -a -w heads/master heads/master http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git/ 18416 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep git takis@poseidon:/tmp/a$ strace -f -p 18400 Process 18400 attached - interrupt to quit select(0, [], [], [], {0, 48000}) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 454932}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 454989}, NULL) = 0 select(0, [], [], [], {0, 50000}) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 506226}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 506277}, NULL) = 0 select(0, [], [], [], {0, 50000}) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 558245}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 558296}, NULL) = 0 select(0, [], [], [], {0, 50000}) = 0 (Timeout) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 610227}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1160169868, 610277}, NULL) = 0 ... And this goes on and on and on... and there seems to be no data getting in. (Ofcourse at first I had just done a "du -h" of the clone target dir, but that didn't grow. To make sure git wasn't using a hidden dir somewhere or keeping all the pulled-in-data in-memory or something, I decided to look with strace). What am I doing wrong? Any hints? I am using the current git-GIT. Thanks in advance for any replies! :) With friendly regards, Takis [1] I know about the "-l" and "-s" flags, but I wanted to be 100% sure that it were just copies, and no references would be pointing from here to there... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
