Unfortunately, client signaling the version is nasty to do in ways that wouldn't cause current servers to hang up or do other undesirable things. git://: Git-daemon will hang up[1] if it receives command it won't understand (and one can't add arguments either). ssh://: Commands are NAKed in non-standard ways (e.g. Gitolite vs. shell) and one can't add arguments. file://: That's easy. CONNECT: The helper needs to be told that v2 is supported (helper doing the rest). Maybe with git://, one could hack the stuff in similar way as virtual hosting was added. But that won't work with SSH (nor one can use environment with SSH). :-/ [1] And there is no guarantee that the server end of git:// is git-daemon. There's at least one git:// server implemetation that responds to unknown commands by ERR packet followed by hangup. -Ilari -- 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
