[JGIT] Pushing the HEAD ref?

Daniel Cheng· Mar 17, 2009, 04:04 UTC · lore

Hi List,

When I develop the freenet transport, I found the refWriter in WalkPushConnection never write the HEAD refs, even if this is a new repository. Is this the expected behaviour? This cause error when I clone the repository.

Regards, Daniel Cheng.

Nope.

Check WalkPushConnection's createNewRepository(). The method is called from line 162 where we try to create a new HEAD symbolic ref to one of the refs/heads/$name being pushed, and we also put a tiny config file. This way a repository pushed over sftp:// is a valid repository if you later get shell access to it.

Sounds like you didn't push a refs/heads/$name when you created the repository, or you something is broken in this section.
