Hello,

trying to set up a webDAV enabled http push git server (1.5.3.3) like it is described in

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt

Tested the apache2 (2.2.6) DAV setup with cadaver (and tried the browser as well). With cadaver I could lock files, download and upload content.

However,

> git push -v upload master

Pushing to http://test@x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git/
Fetching remote heads...
  refs/
  refs/heads/
  refs/tags/
updating 'refs/heads/master'
  from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  to   d75dce3fe0e9ec5915feda5574f214bd432ccb14
    sending 89 objects
    done
Updating remote server info
UNLOCK HTTP error 400

Also tried:

> git-http-push --all --verbose http://x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git/ master

Getting pack list
Fetching remote heads...
  refs/
  refs/heads/
  refs/tags/
'refs/heads/master': up-to-date

... and then tried to clone:

> git clone http://test@x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tpasch/tmp/tmp/DepTrack/.git/ Getting alternates list for http://test@x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git Getting pack list for http://test@x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git error: Unable to find d75dce3fe0e9ec5915feda5574f214bd432ccb14 under http://test@x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git Cannot obtain needed object d75dce3fe0e9ec5915feda5574f214bd432ccb14

Finally, tried a *non-empty* repo at the server:

> git clone --bare /home/tpasch/tmp/tmp/trunk DepTrack.git

Initialized empty Git repository in /data/git/DepTrack.git/ 22911 blocks

> cd DepTrack.git/
> git --bare update-server-info
> chmod a+x hooks/post-update
> chown -R wwwrun:www /data/git

... cloned:

... then modified a file and pushed:

> git add test.txt
> git commit
> git push -v

Pushing to http://test@x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git

But this never returns. (Also tried:

> git-http-push --all --verbose http://x.x.x.x/git/DepTrack.git/ master

Getting pack list

)

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Thomas

PS: This is how I initialized the repo:

> git --bare init

Initialized empty Git repository in /data/git/DepTrack.git/

> git --bare update-server-info
> chmod a+x hooks/post-update
> chown -R wwwrun:www /data/git
> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
