I can clone other HTTPS repos with this git installation, for example from Bitbucket and Github. It's git 1.7.10.4 on Debian. I can also clone this codeplex repo OK on my windows git installation (1.7.11.msysgit.1). I'm totally perplexed; anyone have any idea what is going wrong with the Debian git installation here? -- Best regards, Jeremy Morton (Jez) ``` ## Enrico Weigelt, 2012-11-10 07:49 Subject: Re: Bizarre problem cloning repo from Codeplex Message-ID: <6c843260-6190-469a-aa53-243ac440b0fd@zcs> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/6c843260-6190-469a-aa53-243ac440b0fd%40zcs In-Reply-To: <508B133D.3090300@game-point.net> ``` > I'm trying to clone the following repository from Codeplex: > > https://git01.codeplex.com/entityframework.git > > git downloads all the objects, creates the directory > "entityframework", > then displays "error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200" and > immediately deletes the directory. > > I can clone other HTTPS repos with this git installation, for example > from Bitbucket and Github.

Try GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1. GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 can be helpful too. -John PS Sorry for the duplicate. I meant to respond to the list as well. ``` ## Andreas Schwab, 2012-11-10 15:23 Subject: Re: Bizarre problem cloning repo from Codeplex Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m2k3tteb2k.fsf%40igel.home In-Reply-To: <6c843260-6190-469a-aa53-243ac440b0fd@zcs> ``` Enrico Weigelt writes: > Their webserver seems to be configured quite restrictively > (eg. cannot access files like 'packed-refs').

No. If you've never run git pack-refs it's never created.
