git clone - failing on cygwin with git:// but not with ssh://

git clone - failing on cygwin with git:// but not with ssh://

[Joe Casadonte]

Hi,

I'm new to git, so my apologies if I'm missing something pretty
basic.  Here's my setup:

"Public" server
---------------
OS: RedHat clone, 2.6.9 kernel
git version: self-compiled, 1.6.0.6

Test client #1 (works)
----------------------
OS: RedHat clone, 2.6.9 kernel
git version: self-compiled, 1.6.0.6

Test client #2 (fails)
----------------------
OS: Win XP Pro
git version: cygwin compiled, 1.6.0.4

I have a new repository on the "public" server, and have cloned it on
test client #1 with:

$ git clone git://foobar/myproj.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/myproj/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 104, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (72/72), done.
remote: Total 104 (delta 22), reused 104 (delta 22)
Receiving objects: 100% (104/104), 76.97 KiB, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (22/22), done.


I try the same thing on test box #2 and receive:


D:\temp>git clone git://foobar/otminfmyproj.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/d/temp/foobar/.git/
fatal: read error (Socket operation on non-socket)
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed


I've turned on verbose logging in the daemon and I see the following
messages:

Dec 27 17:31:53 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Connection from 192.168.1.102:2598
Dec 27 17:31:53 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=foobar>
Dec 27 17:31:53 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Request upload-pack for '/myproj.git'
Dec 27 17:31:55 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Disconnected (with error)

A successful log (from test client #1) shows practically the same
thing:

Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Connection from 192.168.2.101:44832
Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=foobar>
Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Request upload-pack for '/myproj.git'
Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Disconnected


Running the clone via ssh protocol from test client #2 works, though:


D:\temp>git clone ssh://root@foobar/nfs02/git/myproj
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/d/temp/myproj/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 104, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (72/72), done.
remote: Total 104 (delta 22), reused 104 (delta 22)
Receiving objects: 100% (104/104), 76.97 KiB | 9 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (22/22), done.


The same test machine has cloned from a different linux server via the
git protocol just fine.

Any ideas?  Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know of more logging I can try to help diagnose the issue?  Despite
the SSH work-around, this is really hampering me....

I'd try the msysgit version...

As Junio said, this smells like the build you have of git or of cygwin 
aren't dealing correctly with Windows' non-POSIX-ness. The msysgit version 
is more self-contained, and doesn't expect the system to be POSIX at all.

Looking for a little help, please.  Is this not a legitimate git issue?  Can
anyone at least help me diagnose the issue?  Please?

I think "git on Cygwin" is as legitimate as git on anything else, but at
the same time my guess is that it is a combination of the fact that
everybody is busy with other things around the end of year , and that
probably there are not many "git on Cygwin" experts monitoring the list to
begin with.

Sorry, I do not work on Cygwin (nor Windows in general).  "fatal: read
error (Socket operation on non-socket)" sounds like it is coming from
pkt-line.c::safe_read() on the downloading side (i.e. git-clone).

Googling for that error message seems to indicate that it seems to a
rather common error message on wide variety of programs running on Cygwin.

My apologies to the group -- I wasn't really cognizant of the fact
that its only been 3 days since my first email.  That has now been
made abundantly clear to me :)

I've been working on getting git working full-bore since the middle of
last week, of which this issue is just part of it, and I'm quickly
running out of time (Jan 5 I have to ditch this and go back to my
normal tasks).  All the days are blurring together.....

Anyhow, thanks for *your* patience with me, despite the lack of
manners on my end.  A happy & safe New Years to all!
