Hi All,

I'm trying to follow the git-http-backend man page on setting up authenticated pushes to my apache server. Pulls work fine, and fully authenticated pushes work fine. However, when I try and setup anonymous pulls and authenticated pushes the push fails.

I believe the culprit is this 403 error:

192.168.1.1 - - [09/Mar/2010:09:01:43 -0800] "GET /git/test.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "git/1.7.0.2.dirty"

Anybody know what I missed?

Regards, Ryan
