Problem cloning packed-and-pruned http repository

Hi

I've been having trouble setting up a public repository using GIT. After I have pushed my repository to a directory within ~/public_html, I can clone it. But the repository is _big_ (261M).

So, I use "git-repack" on it and a "git-prune-packed". This makes it nicely fit in 14MiB. If I try to clone this pruned/packed repository again both cg-clone hangs on it (as does git-clone).

Here's two outputs demonstrating this. One repository was a "cp -lr" clone [1] of the other, and one was packed/pruned, the other wasn't: takis@poseidon:/tmp$ cg-clone http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264.git defaulting to local storage area Fetching head... Fetching objects... progress: 38 objects, 159434 bytes cg-clone: interrupted takis@poseidon:/tmp$ cg-clone http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git defaulting to local storage area Fetching head... Fetching objects... Getting alternates list for http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git/ Getting pack list for http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git/ progress: 0 objects, 0 bytes cg-clone: interrupted

So, I tried tracing it, to see what was going on: takis@poseidon:/tmp/a$ ps x|grep git 18386 pts/9 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /home/takis/bin/git-clone http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git 18400 pts/9 S+ 0:00 git-http-fetch -v -a -w heads/master heads/master http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/git/ffmpeg-h264-test.git/ 18416 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep git

And this keeps going on... so I can't see any data getting in :-(

Any hints what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any replies! :)

With friendly regards, Takis

[1] I am aware of "git-clone -l -s" but wanted to make fully independent copy and wasn't sure about any links between them if only using "-l".
