I can't download Jeremy's dom0 code in the past two days. Did anyone have the same problem?

I haven't seen this, but I'm generally pushing rather than pulling. I'll
look into it.

The are some server-side indices which need to be updated on git push in
order for the http method to work correctly. This sort of thing often
happens when this hasn't happened correctly for one reason or another.

The git:// method is much more reliable since it does not require this
step (and it's more efficient on the wire etc). I'd strongly recommend
using git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git if
you can.

(a bit out of date information..)

git supports smart http (which is as efficient as git://) since end of 2009, and 
it's definitely supported by g.k.o.

In this case, Wei you have a choice of either switching to git protocol or 
upgrading your git version.

Ah, good info thanks.

I presume this smart http does not require any push time hooks to be
called (the docs don't mention them either positively or negatively
which suggests they aren't needed now).

indeed, it shouldn't need it anymore; however i'm not totally sure how things 
are done with old versions not supporting smart http.

Unfortunately git port is blocked by IT firewall. HTTP is the only method available.

Nonsense. It is there for you to subvert it. Like this:

If you are behind a firewall, git will have trouble. You need
to get 'corkscrew' and setup git to tunnel the traffic via
the appropiate port.


1). In your .gitconfig have this:
[core]
    gitproxy = $HOME/git-proxy

2). Create a file call $HOME/git-proxy with:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/corkscrew <your internal proxy address> 80 $*

And that will fix your problem.
