With my debugging patch applied to peek-remote: $ git-peek-remote git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git error: protocol error: bad line length character <<<<< env: >>>>> fatal: protocol error: bad line length character So somebody says "env:" immediately followed by an EOF to the stdout when upload-pack is invoked via git-daemon. The first thing that happens in the fetch/clone/peek-remote protocol is reading from the server side, so unfortunately there is no way to debug any further without having an access to their server. - 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
