Hi,

Recently cogito again say that the rsync method will be deprecated in future (due to http-pull now supporting pack objects I suppose), but it seems to me that it still have other issues:

----- lycan linux-2.6 # git pull origin Fetching HEAD using http Getting pack list error: Couldn't get 0572e3da3ff5c3744b2f606ecf296d5f89a4bbdf: not separate or in any pack error: Tried http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/05/72e3da3ff5c3744b2f606ecf296d5f89a4bbdf Cannot obtain needed object 0572e3da3ff5c3744b2f606ecf296d5f89a4bbdf while processing commit 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. lycan linux-2.6 # cg-update 17:50:02 URL:http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/refs/heads/master [41/41] -> "refs/heads/.origin-pulling" [1]

If you switch it however to rsync again, it works just fine. Other branches like that of KLIBC and one or two others do not even pull via http-pull.

So basically the question is if this is known issues (had mail issues, so missed the last week or so's mail) ?

Thanks,
