Hi, One of my users reported a strange problem: a simple HTTPS clone did not work with Git 1.8.3.1 on RedHat 7. I did many tests and I was not able to understand why his clone don't work while I'm able to do it on other similar host. Nevertheless, we did more investigations. One of them: a raw strace. I discovered two strange behaviours: - fetch-pack closes its standard input and standard output and then tries to print the references on standard input and finaly dies. - git-remote-https does not react to fetch-pack death and continue polling an empty set of FD. Reading fetch-pack code, the behaviour is explicit: When "--stateless-rpc" is provided, fd is filled with standard input and standard ouput which are then closed. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/tree/builtin/fetch-pack.c?h=v1.8.3.1#n156 Reading this, I did not understand why it could work. Any help appreciated.
