Subject: HTTP redirection with git-clone/git-fetch ?
Message-ID: <200511092331.36421.Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de>

Hi,

git-clone fails silently with a HTTP URL where the server
responds with a redirection (ie. header line "Location:...").
I tried to add "-L" to the curl command line in git-clone.sh,
but this is only half of a fix. Afterwards I get:

defaulting to local storage area
error: Couldn't get http://repo/project.git/refs/heads/origin for heads/origin
Failed writing body
error: Could not interpret heads/origin as something to pull

This seems because git-fetch should understand redirections, too.
I am not familiar to the curl API. So perhaps another one can try to
fix this?
