Dear Git Developers,

Some users of our project started recently to complain that they could not clone the repository via http (git:// wasn't a choice due to heavy firewalling) and because http:// was used as a protocol to get sources in some distributions (e.g. macports).

Cloning of the repository works fine with v1.6.5.7 but fails with v1.6.6-rc0. I haven't done full bisection since that repository is relatively bulky and poor server is quite loaded anyways, so I thought you just would get a clue without going brute-force. But here are the details: in case of failing operation, I immediately get failure:

$> GIT_TRACE=2 ./git clone http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git trace: built-in: git 'clone' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' warning: templates not found /home/yoh/share/git-core/templates Initialized empty Git repository in /home/yoh/proj/misc/git/pymvpa/.git/ trace: run_command: 'remote-curl' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' trace: exec: 'git' 'remote-curl' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' trace: exec: 'git-remote-curl' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' trace: run_command: 'git-remote-curl' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' 'http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git' fatal: http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/pymvpa.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

on the server, 1.6.3.3 version of git was used to run git update-server-info.

Thanks in advance
