Oddities cloning over http

Cloning over http this repo, using git v1.5.0.5 and v1.5.1.106.ga32037

  http://git.catalyst.net.nz/git/moodle-r2.git

The clone doesn't complete successfully.

 - I don't get a checkout
 - It never creates .git/branches/origin
 - It never creates .git/refs/heads/master

OTOH, it does fetch all the packfiles, and creates all the refs for the remote branches under .git/refs/remotes/origin/

hmmm...? I did run git-update-server-info on the server...

Hi Martin,

I've seen this behavior when the server repo files don't have the same owner/group as the one you're running the server with. That happened to me after I edited the config files.

Cheers, Emil.

Ok - at least in my case, this seems to be related to problems fetching HEAD on the server, probably because apache doesn't allow symlinks. What I don't quite follow is where is the best place to check for this. The logic is a bit muddy.

cheers,
