Subject: git smart-http do not authent to allow git ls-remote to be called anonymously
Message-ID: <CAHtLG6Q+XO=LhnKw4hhwtOe2ROeDN1Kg=JN5GTQqdvYjk-Sv4g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I use smart-http on Apache.
If nothing to be pushed / pulled, I do not want password to be
supplied. And allow git ls-remote to run without password

*.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
*.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack

I only need authentication on

*.git/git-upload-pack
*.git/git-receive-pack

/etc/apache/httpd.conf

<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-(upload|receive)-pack$">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "staff only"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache/apache.pwd
    Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

However this does not work. It does not ask for password at all.

I use Ubuntu 10.04, Apache 2.2.14, Git 1.7.11.3.

Directory structure: any depth (more than 1 subdir) of path from /git
to .git folders

Could you advise how to configure this? Is this a bug?
