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!

Does anyone know of more logging I can try to help diagnose the issue? Despite the SSH work-around, this is really hampering me....

I'd try the msysgit version...

As Junio said, this smells like the build you have of git or of cygwin aren't dealing correctly with Windows' non-POSIX-ness. The msysgit version is more self-contained, and doesn't expect the system to be POSIX at all.
