Hello All, My work currently resides in four different source trees, namely: * bootloaders (git://192.168.10.1/bootloaders) * kernel (git://192.168.10.1/kernel) * applications (git://192.168.10.1/apps) * build (git://192.168.10.1/build) I maintain them as four different git repositories. They are hosted on a local server enabling any other developer to be able to clone from one of the trees, make changes, commit locally and then push to the git server. I was browsing through the Android source code and found that they have a similar situation where code is maintained in a large number of independent GIT repositories. The tool 'repo' is being used to initialize and sync each tree. I have been trying to bring in this approach to maintain my work too. I have had success to some extent :-) I have created a manifest.git and repo.git in my local server. The default.xml file being maintained in manifest.git has a list of the GIT repositories being hosted by my local GIT server. In order to clone the four GIT trees from the server, I do the following: $ repo init -u git://192.168.10.1/manifest.git $ repo sync This clones from the four source trees maintained in the GIT server. I am able to make changes locally in each tree and commit them. However, when I attempt to push the commits to the main repository on the GIT server, it always says that 'everything is up to date' $ git push user@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/git/applications user@xxxxxxxxxxxx's password: Everything up-to-date Further, when I try to pull in any recent updates with the git-pull command, I get the following error: $ git-pull fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly I know pushing to the repository on the GIT server works since I am able to push local commits when I have cloned the working copy manually (instead of using repo init and repo sync). ----------------------------------------------------------------- $ git-clone git://192.168.10.1/applications Initialized empty Git repository in /home/user/work/applications/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 6857, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3805/3805), done. remote: Total 6857 (delta 2943), reused 6853 (delta 2941) Receiving objects: 100% (6857/6857), 9.51 MiB | 10547 KiB/s, done.

Has anyone faced a similar problem? Any pointers would be of help. Thanks in advance.
