I still have one issue, but haven't found out the solution yet. Actually I even don't know if its related to 'archive/upload-archive' commands. Could someone give it a try to tell me if he can at least reproduce it ?

Here is the scenario (git-daemon and git-archive are executed on the same machine):

git-daemon is started with the following command:

$  git daemon --verbose --syslog --export-all  \
   --enable=upload-archive --base-path=/home/fbuihuu/tmp/ --reuseaddr

git-archive is run to archive a small repo located in ~/tmp/test-git. This is done in an endless loop:

$ while true; do

> git archive --format=tar --remote=git://localhost/test-git HEAD | tar tf -
> done

a b a b a b a b a b a b a b # stuck !!!

So after a couple of loops, git-archive is stuck waiting for git-daemon but daemon seems to be stuck somewhere.

Syslog shows something interesting here:

[...] Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16549] Connection from 127.0.0.1:30373 Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16549] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=localhost> Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16549] Request upload-archive for '/test-git2' Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-upload-archive: finished Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16549] Disconnected Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16553] Connection from 127.0.0.1:30629 Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16553] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=localhost> Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-daemon: [16553] Request upload-archive for '/test-git2' Sep 18 16:11:42 25-fbuihuu git-upload-archive: finished [END]

It looks like git-daemon never receives the SIGCHLD signal that is normally sent by upload-archive once it has finished its job.
