I'm in a situation where sharing via http is my simplest method, although I will migrate to use git-daemon in the near future.

I'm on CentOS 4.6, Apache works fine, the bare repository is viewable and there's a info/refs file like there should be.

msoulier@espresso:~/temp$ cat /var/www/git/cqr.git/info/refs 0a27e2807d8d3c32aa8912d01c939bd1cdd0df68 refs/heads/master

But cloning fails.

git clone http://espresso.nssg.mitel.com/gitdir/cqr.git

This is not on NFS, it's an LVM filesystem on a local disk.

msoulier@espresso:~/temp$ df -h .
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

I'm not sure what the issue could be.

git --version git version 1.5.6.rc0

I'll start by picking up the latest.

Thanks, Mike
