so bare or not ssh works but http doesnt:

$ git-clone ssh://aeyakovenko@localhost/var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/bare bare-ssh Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aeyakovenko/projects/bare-ssh/.git/ Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

and running over a bare directory doesn't work:

$ git-clone http://aeyakovenko@localhost/git/bare bare Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aeyakovenko/projects/bare/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

apache acess log:

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Feb/2008:14:10:19 -0800] "GET /git/bare/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 401 460

i feel like i am taking crazy pills, why is apache looking for /git/bare/info/refs, and no the directory from the doc root?
