git over http

git over http

[jacobhenry]

The past couple days I have tried to configure git over http.  To this point
I have it working for a small repository. However, when I try to push a
large directory to the server, it gives me a very vague description of the
error "http-push died with strange error".  My apache logs do not even
flicker.  Is there anywhere I can look to see what the actual error is?  

Here is the trace:

Fetching remote heads...

  refs/tags/

  from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Is your server webdav-enabled ?

If yes, can you try again with the GIT_CURL_VERBOSE environment variable
set ?

Re: segmentation fault - git over http

[Henry, Jacob Anthony]

updating to version 1.5.5 fixed the problem.

GIT over HTTP

[Andreas Schneider]

after lost of research on the www i am still at a loss on how to
properly do push/pull over HTTP

it seems to work on the GIT level, however PUSHS to the remote repository do
NOT show up in the file-structure: adding a file locally, then pushing to the remote repository - the file will not appear in the remote listing, however it became part of the remote repository.


in the httpd.conf i put these directives

<Location /GIT>
  AllowOverride All
  DAV on
</Location>
<Location /GIT/.git>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Git"
  AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/pwd
  Require valid-user
</Location>


as /GIT is the publicly accessible site- i put authentication in the /GIT/.git
location



another issue i can't seem to solve:
having a REWRITE directive in the /GIT directory seems to obstruct any PUSH
attempt from the local repository...



any help would be highy appreciated!


	thanx,

		andreas

This is normal. Push does not update working copy. You would need a hook for
that.

< snip dav configuration >

And hooks will not work with WebDAV. You MUST push over some smart transport,
like ssh:// or HTTP with http-backend. HTTP/WebDAV does not cut it.
