I'm trying to set up git repos for remote access here. I set up git-daemon and got it working (some older repositories do work fine), but now: $ mkdir /var/scm/user/SomeRepo.git $ cd /var/scm/user/SomeRepo.git $ git --bare init-db $ touch git-daemon-export-ok All OK, but then, from a remote machine: $ git clone git://git-server/user/SomeRepo.git fatal: no matching remote head fetch-pack from 'git://git-server/user/Test.git' failed. The empty repo created by init-db should be cloneable, so as to get the ball rolling easily. You can't push into such an empty repository either. Any suggestion of how to set up a server into which users can create their own repos /without/ giving out full shell accounts? Also, the behaviour of git-daemon is different when using git or ssh+git, you need to give the full path for the later but not the former (given --base-path=/var/scm): git://git-server/user/Test.git ssh+git://git-server/var/scm/user/Test.git Is this intentional? -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 2797513 - 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
