2.6.15-rc2 tag

2.6.15-rc2 tag

[J. Bruce Fields]

Help!  I'm confused.

	git-fetch --tags http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

isn't getting me a 2.6.15-rc2 tag.  So maybe there's some delay?  There
does, however, appear to be a file

	http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/tags/v2.6.15-rc2

Its contents are 7305b5cb045e2c71250b5b7472771ed2620bc514 which isn't
anything I can find anywhere.

gitweb, on the other hand:

	http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tag;h=7305b5cb045e2c71250b5b7472771ed2620bc514

shows 3bedff1d73b86e0cf52634efb447e9ada08f2cc6 as the tagged commit,
which is something I do have.  What don't I understand?

I'm still not getting a 2.6.15-rc2 tag with either git-clone or
git-fetch --tags.  Any ideas?  Is the problem with me or with the
repository?

Try using 

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

instead. Does that help? 

I don't understand how http:// works (or doesn't), so..

Yup, thanks.  Is there any reason to ever use http to get to your
repository?

http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/info/refs

which has a list of tags that doesn't include 2.6.15-rc2.  What
generates that file?  Is it broken?

Linus's?  For you?  Probably not.  But for others:

1) Corporate firewalls, which only allow HTTP transit, without
   jumping through hoops.

2) Far easier to find HTTP hosting than rsync or git hosting.

It should.  And I think git:// should be encouraged over
http://, but some people (including me at work) can only come
from http://, so...

The difference between git-ls-remote against your repository via
git:// and http:// would tell you.  Your info/refs in your repo
is stale; git http transport is designed to cope with webservers
without dirindex, and only uses info/refs to find out what refs
you have in that repository.  It does not fall back on "wget -r"
behaviour simply because it is a mess (you get all sorts of
useless links by doing dirindex in refs/ directory, like Name,
Last modified, Size, Parent Directory).

Mind enabling hooks/post-update on the master so that
update-server-info is run after you push into it?
