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 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 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.... ``` ## Daniel Barkalow, 2008-12-30 23:52 Subject: Re: git clone - failing on cygwin with git:// but not with ssh:// Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.LNX.1.00.0812301845390.19665%40iabervon.org In-Reply-To: ``` On Sat, 27 Dec 2008, Joe Casadonte wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to git, so my apologies if I'm missing something pretty > basic.

The msysgit version is more self-contained, and doesn't expect the system to be POSIX at all. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* ```
