Hi,

I'm new to git, so my apologies if I'm missing something pretty basic. Here's my setup:

"Public" server
---------------
OS: RedHat clone, 2.6.9 kernel
git version: self-compiled, 1.6.0.6
Test client #1 (works)
----------------------
OS: RedHat clone, 2.6.9 kernel
git version: self-compiled, 1.6.0.6
Test client #2 (fails)
----------------------
OS: Win XP Pro
git version: cygwin compiled, 1.6.0.4

I have a new repository on the "public" server, and have cloned it on test client #1 with:

$ git clone git://foobar/myproj.git Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/myproj/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 104, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (72/72), done. remote: Total 104 (delta 22), reused 104 (delta 22) Receiving objects: 100% (104/104), 76.97 KiB, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (22/22), done.

I try the same thing on test box #2 and receive:

D:\temp>git clone git://foobar/otminfmyproj.git Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/d/temp/foobar/.git/ fatal: read error (Socket operation on non-socket) fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

I've turned on verbose logging in the daemon and I see the following messages:

Dec 27 17:31:53 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Connection from 192.168.1.102:2598 Dec 27 17:31:53 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=foobar> Dec 27 17:31:53 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Request upload-pack for '/myproj.git' Dec 27 17:31:55 foobar git-daemon: [30327] Disconnected (with error)

A successful log (from test client #1) shows practically the same thing:

Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Connection from 192.168.2.101:44832 Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=foobar> Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Request upload-pack for '/myproj.git' Dec 27 17:33:22 foobar git-daemon: [30338] Disconnected

Running the clone via ssh protocol from test client #2 works, though:

D:\temp>git clone ssh://root@foobar/nfs02/git/myproj Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/d/temp/myproj/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 104, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (72/72), done. remote: Total 104 (delta 22), reused 104 (delta 22) Receiving objects: 100% (104/104), 76.97 KiB | 9 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (22/22), done.

The same test machine has cloned from a different linux server via the git protocol just fine.

Any ideas?  Thanks for the help!
