If you read carefully you see some "I ..." :-) Summarising to avoid all confusion: * I had git installed in /usr/local/bin, this was git from git, close to 1.5.6. The machine was running SuSE 10.2. * I installed SuSE 11.0, whiping /, but git remained as /usr/local is on a seperate partition. * Git refused to run (dependency on libcurl.so.3; 11.0 ships with libcurl.so.4). * I copied libcurl.so.3 from backup into /usr/lib64, which at least made git run again. * Then I did % git pull % git clean -x -f % make prefix=/usr/local all doc info # make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc install-info * All went smooth, but clients to git:// complained that the other site hung up unexpectedly. * Ran git-daemon --verbose --export-all --user=git --port=4000 /some/path * Ran strace -f -p <pid> * Ran git clone git://localhost:4000/some/path to find it was trying to start /usr/sbin/git-upload-pack. I understand bit changes are underway, so it might not be worthwhile to try and get to the bottom of this.
