Subject: Git clone from ftp issue
Message-ID: <CAFVLdUm=Jz5t=f+tZvDKGWAFoGi40oV_aLb_qoxrsreTrGTK=w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello. I am having trouble setting up a git repository on an ftp
server. The repository is bare and has had several commits made before
being moved to the ftp server. I am attempting to clone from my ftp
server, but git fails with the ftp error code 550. Inspection of the
ftp packets via wireshark reveals that git is successfully changing to
its desired working directory on the ftp server, but then it attempts
to execute the 'size' command on the refs directory which generates
the error code 550. Is this normal behavior or is it a bug?
