Subject: core.gitproxy and non-git protocols
Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 15:21:53 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ee77f5c20708012221j4d75ff0dl8fbf16cdaf1401bd@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

The part of the git-config documentation that covers core. gitproxy is
incorrect: you can't use the core.gitproxy setting to use a proxy
command for ssh://, nor to create your own faux-protocols. In the
git_connect function (connect.c), it only references git_proxy_connect
(and thus the core.gitproxy setting) if (protocol == PROTO_GIT).

I have a situation where I'd like to push to a remote git repository
on a machine that is a little weird to access, so I need two different
types of ssh'ing to reach it depending on my location. That is easily
scriptable, which is how I did it with SVN (ended up with a
svn+voltron:// protocol), but is not currently possible with git.

It'd be great if (a) the documentation could be fixed, or (b) the
proxy-picking code could be at least extended to ssh:// protocols, and
preferrably extended to defining custom protocols.

Thanks,

Dave.
