Hi, I use smart-http on Apache. If nothing to be pushed / pulled, I do not want password to be supplied. And allow git ls-remote to run without password *.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack *.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack I only need authentication on *.git/git-upload-pack *.git/git-receive-pack /etc/apache/httpd.conf <LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-(upload|receive)-pack$"> AuthType Basic AuthName "staff only" AuthUserFile /etc/apache/apache.pwd Require valid-user </LocationMatch> However this does not work. It does not ask for password at all. I use Ubuntu 10.04, Apache 2.2.14, Git 1.7.11.3. Directory structure: any depth (more than 1 subdir) of path from /git to .git folders Could you advise how to configure this? Is this a bug?
