I can confirm that using a newer version of git solves my first problem. However linux servers usually don't have the latest versions available (I am using SLES 11). I might have to install a newer git version manually.
My second problem was solved by, installing git on Jenkins master (yes only the slave node had git) and giving the user jenkins access to the git repository. /Sverre ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sverre Moe" <sve...@spacetec.no> To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, 18 April, 2013 8:51:05 AM Subject: Re: A couple of Git problems I have made sure that the user "build" on my slave node has access to the git repository, but my user "jenkins" on the Jenkins master does not have this access.

The Git plugin is trying to verify that the URL you've entered appears to be valid and accessible, but if for any reason the Jenkins master can't reach the Git repository, you'll get this warning. ----- Original Message ----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com At: Apr 17 2013 16:48:11 I don't have fast remote polling checked as I let pushes to github trigger my builds but I still get the error about git ls-remote. And I think it happens when master doesn't have the ssh keys to connect to github but the slave does. So my builds work fine but I get an error in my config.

Regarding problem 1: I think it may be the old version of git you are running (1.6.0.2). Refer to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-17629 for a more detailed description of why the problem is related to the git version. Git versions after 1.6.2 do not have the problem Regarding problem 2: The git plugin advanced section has a "fast remote polling" setting. I believe that if you enable that, then the plugin will use "git ls-remote" from the master node without performing the operation on the slave node. You might check if the advanced configuration has fast remote polling enabled. If it does and you are concerned about the overhead due to polling, you might read Kohsuke Kawaguchi's "Git polling must die" posting which describes how to improve the responsiveness of your jobs and reduce git polling significantly.

Have turned off JGit with -Dorg.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.Git.useJGit=false, because otherwise it would not work. I'm using the following Git Url in my project settings: ssh:// g...@git.company.com/packages/companyApp.git Problem 1: Unable to perform git clone to workspace. This is because Jenkins automatically creates the workspace directory. I have gone around this problem by performing a manually git clone git@git:/packages/companyApp into the project workspace directory before I start my first build.
