```
I run the daemon against a base directory with all my repos.

/repositories
  + /blingon
     + /config
  + /thepia
     + /config

The config directories are git repositories, and the repos are made
available with the following command:

henrik-computer:~ x$ git daemon --export-all --verbose --base-path=/repositories
[337] Connection from 192.168.9.130:56583
[337] Extended attributes (20 bytes) exist <host=192.168.9.165>
[337] Request upload-pack for '/blingon/all'
[337] Disconnected

For some reason when I try to pull over the git protocol to a
different machine using clone, I get a failure telling me that there
is 'no matching remote head'

I tried specifying the actual repo directories, but that made no difference.

Any ideas?

Henrik

Lack of any whitelist on the command line and --export-all?

Do you see "not in whitelist" in your error log?
