Okay I have added the following to 'config' :-

[daemon]
        receivepack = true

and done an 'service xinetd restart' just in case, probably not needed.

I have tried a 'git push git://.../repo' but it is hanging, btw I am using Cygwin on the client, and F10 on the server.

Trying to clone an empty repository also hangs. btw I have sucessfully cloned big repositories.
