Hi guys, I've been up all night on this one and after exhaustive
Googling and checking the sleepy #git, decided to check with the
mailing list! Here's the current problem:

Git is working perfectly over SSH. The server is Ubuntu, and doing
cadaver https://serveraddress/.git successfully authenticates using
the passwd file I provided to Apache. Basically I've done everything
from Rutger's guide
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.4.4.4/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt)
except for the ~/.netrc stuff.

However, once authenticated to the .git folder (cadaver through
https), basic commands give strange errors or 404s. Ls throws "Listing
collection `/.git/': failed:
Could not read status line: Secure connection truncated" and cd
/to/some/legitimate/directory throws "Could not access /.git/dir/ (not
WebDAV-enabled?):
404 Not Found." Oddly tab-completion for cd suggests the contents of
the directory (although I'm cadaver-ing from localhost). Same results
remotely in a browser: authenticates successfully and gives 404s.

Trying git clone https://server/.git throws:

"warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout"

...despite the working certificate and authorization. Any ideas?
Thanks infinity and one to anybody with attention for this!

Chris


Note: Apache owns all the files here so I really hope it's not a
permissions thing.
