Subject: Why does fetch-pack not works over http?
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 12:42:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1509100979.32292.19.camel@bitergia.com> (raw)
Dear all,
We're wondering why "fetch-pack" (when is running from the command
line) doesn't handle "https://" protocol. It only works with "git://".
For instance, this doesn't work:
$ git fetch-pack https://github.com/git/git refs/heads/master
fatal: I don't handle protocol 'https'
while this does:
$ git fetch-pack git://github.com/git/git refs/heads/master
The funny thing is that under the hood, "fetch" calls "fetch-pack"
using "https" procotol. Example of a trace below:
12:03:07.512558 git.c:344 trace: built-in: git 'fetch-
pack' '--stateless-rpc' '--stdin' '--lock-pack' '--thin' 'https://githu
b.com/git/git/'
Cheers
