Other branches like that of KLIBC and one or two others do not even pull via http-pull. So basically the question is if this is known issues (had mail issues, so missed the last week or so's mail) ?

It looks like pack-c24bb5025e835a3d8733931ce7cc440f7bfbaaed isn't in the pack list. I suspect that updating this file should really be done by anything that creates pack files, because people forget to run the program that does it otherwise and then http has problems. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2005-08-24 18:16 Subject: Re: Query about status of http-pull Message-ID: <7v1x4jfbdy.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v1x4jfbdy.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net In-Reply-To: ``` Daniel Barkalow writes: > It looks like pack-c24bb5025e835a3d8733931ce7cc440f7bfbaaed isn't in the > pack list.

Added at the end of git-repack-script (Linus can disable it by giving an '-n' flag when packing his private repositories). ``` ## Linus Torvalds, 2005-08-24 18:25 Subject: Re: Query about status of http-pull Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.58.0508241125080.3317%40g5.osdl.org In-Reply-To: <7v1x4jfbdy.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` On Wed, 24 Aug 2005, Junio C Hamano wrote: > > Added at the end of git-repack-script (Linus can disable it by > giving an '-n' flag when packing his private repositories). No, I just haven't updated my git on master.kernel.org in a while. So nothing to disable. I ran git-update-server-info manually, so it should work now. Linus ```
