Subject: Problems with git over http
Message-ID: <264855a00809201013h6003abbfr9bbdd20c92e9201d@mail.gmail.com>

I am new to git and trying to set up a remote repository over http.  I
have configured apache2 and the bare, empty repository.  Using curl, I
can get the file HEAD without a password (seems .netrc is correct?).
However, when I try to push to the repository, I get the following:

sdavis@lestrade:/tmp/testing> git push
http://sdavis@watson.nci.nih.gov/git/sean_git.git/ master
fatal: exec http-push failed.
error: failed to push some refs to
'http://sdavis@watson.nci.nih.gov/git/sean_git.git/'

What can I do to try to debug this, as the error message isn't helping
me to sort out what is wrong.  The client and server are both running
git-1.5.x (although the minor versions are a bit different).  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Sean
