Let's clarify one thing first. Did you mean "git rebuilt from the sources obtained from that seemingly-odd commit, http update does not work anymore", or did you mean "starting from the state my repository happened to be in, attempting to pull from the git.git repository did not work, and the master branch head of git.git public repository was that commit"? First we need to make sure your git binary from last week wednesday or thursday is recent enough. I think you need at least this commit: Author: Daniel Barkalow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu Aug 11 23:17:55 2005 -0400 [PATCH] Also parse objects we already have In the case where we don't know from context what type an object is, but we don't have to fetch it, we need to parse it to determine the type before processing it. If your git binary turns out to be recent enough, then the state of your repository is needed to diagnose this problem. What do these command tell you in your git.git repository that cg-pull from the public repository fails? $ git fsck-cache | grep -v '^dangling ' $ git ls-remote --heads ./. $ ls .git/objects/pack [Note to people who are interested in what I plan to do with the output from the above commands. If fsck-cache reports any anomaly other than dangling objects, that means the repository before pulling is corrupt and the problem is not in http-pull. Otherwise, I can first make a clone of my git.git repository while expanding all the packs, overwrite the head references to what "git ls-remotes" reports for Dirk's repository, run "git prune" to lose objects Dirk would not have, and then try running git-http-pull myself. What set of packs Dirk has (and does not have) is there for sanity checking --- if he has packs that I do not have myself, that means he packed his repository himself. Which is not an illegal thing to do at all, and I do not think that would affect the operation of http-pull, it would be a good thing to know while digging deeper, hence the request for that information. ] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
