I've just upgraded to Debian testing (jessie), and with that I got a brand new (for me) git version: $ git --version git version 1.8.4.rc3 Some of my repos I use an ssh tunnel to reach, so when I want to reach a repo forwarded to local port 2223, using the ssh protocol, the following used to work (.git/config) in older git versions: [remote "exp"] url = [localhost:2223]:blink.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/exp/* However, now I get this message: $ git fetch exp fatal: ':blink.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. If I don't go via the ssh tunnel (I finally have some VPN stuff these days, so I don't really need the tunnel thing anymore, but that's going to be a lot of remotes to update, so I'd prefer it just worked like it used to): - url = [localhost:2223]:blink.git + url = git:blink.git ... it works fine. -- ---- Morten Stenshorne, developer, Opera Software ASA ---- ------------------ http://www.opera.com/ ----------------- -- 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
