I've been trying to set up git-http-backend+lighttpd. I've managed to
set up anonymous read-only access, and I then successfully configured
authentication for both read and write. Then I get stuck. The
man-page for git-http-backend says that the following snippet can be
used for Apache 2.x:
<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Git Access"
Require group committers
...
</LocationMatch>
However, when I put in this match on location in my lighty config and
try to push I'm not asked for a password, instead I'm greeted with
% git push
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing http://magnus@tracsrv.local/git/foo.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack
AFAICS this means the man-page is wrong, and that I instead ought to
match on the "service=git-receive-pack" part. Is that a correct
conclusion?
