You didn't run git update-server-info before doing the clone; cloning
wouldn't work cos git can't find a info/refs file. Perhaps you did do
it and unintentionally left it out from your procedure listed here?

I assume you want to commit dummy.c? But you didn't tell git to track
it in the first place (git add dummy.c).

I also find it strange that git only pushed 1 object from your git
push output, when usually there would be a tree, a blob and a commit
to push for a new commit.
