I'm confused. git-fetch --tags http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git isn't getting me a 2.6.15-rc2 tag. So maybe there's some delay? There does, however, appear to be a file http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/tags/v2.6.15-rc2 Its contents are 7305b5cb045e2c71250b5b7472771ed2620bc514 which isn't anything I can find anywhere. gitweb, on the other hand: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tag;h=7305b5cb045e2c71250b5b7472771ed2620bc514 shows 3bedff1d73b86e0cf52634efb447e9ada08f2cc6 as the tagged commit, which is something I do have. What don't I understand? --b. ``` ## J.

Try using git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git instead. Does that help? I don't understand how http:// works (or doesn't), so.. Linus ``` ## J.

And I think git:// should be encouraged over http://, but some people (including me at work) can only come from http://, so... > I don't understand how http:// works (or doesn't), so.. The difference between git-ls-remote against your repository via git:// and http:// would tell you. Your info/refs in your repo is stale; git http transport is designed to cope with webservers without dirindex, and only uses info/refs to find out what refs you have in that repository. It does not fall back on "wget -r" behaviour simply because it is a mess (you get all sorts of useless links by doing dirindex in refs/ directory, like Name, Last modified, Size, Parent Directory). Mind enabling hooks/post-update on the master so that update-server-info is run after you push into it? ``` ## Jeff Garzik, 2005-11-22 20:38 Subject: Re: 2.6.15-rc2 tag Message-ID: <20051122203852.GA15811@havoc.gtf.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20051122203852.GA15811%40havoc.gtf.org In-Reply-To: <20051122201726.GB8738@fieldses.org> ``` On Tue, Nov 22, 2005 at 03:17:26PM -0500, J.

But for others: 1) Corporate firewalls, which only allow HTTP transit, without jumping through hoops. 2) Far easier to find HTTP hosting than rsync or git hosting. Jeff ```
