I'm in a situation where sharing via http is my simplest method, although I
will migrate to use git-daemon in the near future. 

I'm on CentOS 4.6, Apache works fine, the bare repository is viewable and
there's a info/refs file like there should be. 

msoulier@espresso:~/temp$ cat /var/www/git/cqr.git/info/refs
0a27e2807d8d3c32aa8912d01c939bd1cdd0df68        refs/heads/master

But cloning fails. 

git clone http://espresso.nssg.mitel.com/gitdir/cqr.git
Initialize cqr/.git

This is not on NFS, it's an LVM filesystem on a local disk. 

msoulier@espresso:~/temp$ df -h .

I'm not sure what the issue could be. 

git --version
git version 1.5.6.rc0

I'll start by picking up the latest. 

Thanks,
Mike

That snapshot lacks this fix:

	6eec46b (fix sha1_pack_index_name(), 2008-05-28)

```

Confirmed, it works now.
