Thanks for the quick answer. I'm sure that something _is_ wrong. Otherwise, everything should have worked already.

I think that I'm using the right repository for git-clone because it's the same path that I used for git push:

[root@kd001 my_test.git]# git-push --all
ssh://erez.zilber@kites/pub/git/erez.zilber/my_test.git
erez.zilber@kites's password:
Counting objects: 9, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
Writing objects: 100% (9/9), 740 bytes, done.
Total 9 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To ssh://erez.zilber@kites/pub/git/erez.zilber/my_test.git
 * [new branch]      master -> master

Now, on the server side:

-sh-3.1$ cd my_test.git/ -sh-3.1$ ls info/ exclude -sh-3.1$ git-update-server-info -sh-3.1$ ls info/ exclude refs

looks like git-update-server-info did some work (added the refs file).

Back to the client:

[root@kd001 t]# git-clone http://kites/pub/git/erez.zilber/my_test.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/erez.zilber/work/tmp/t/my_test/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

The path is the same path that was used for pushing the repository. What did I miss here?

Thanks, Erez
