That's weird. We shouldn't be fetching an index at all unless dumb http is in use. When I try to clone from the URL above, I also get shunted to dumb-http (and the repo on the server appears to be poorly packed).

But if I go to:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

then smart HTTP works fine. I wonder if there is a problem in the cgit setup on kernel.org (or if it was even intended that you could fetch from the cgit URL at all; the cgit page shows the clone URLs in /pub/scm/git).

-Peff

I didn't think cgit URLs were meant to be clonable, but since ls-remote works on them, it seems I thought wrong. :) Odd.

Thanks, Jonathan

CGit has a config option "enable-http-clone" which causes it to act as an endpoint for the dumb HTTP protocol. That option defaults to "on", so I suspect that kernel.org has just left it at the default.
