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 ``` ## Jonathan Nieder, 2013-07-23 20:40 Subject: Re: getting git from kernel.org is failing Message-ID: <20130723204005.GF14690@google.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20130723204005.GF14690%40google.com In-Reply-To: <20130723202127.GA2051@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` Jeff King wrote: > then smart HTTP works fine.

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

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. ```
