I tried to clone the e4 repo multiple times from a Mac and a Windows machine and always get an 403 error…..

ccmac8:eclipse christian$ git --version
git version 1.6.4

also tried it on Windows with a git from cygwin with the same result. Multiple people on the orion-dev have no problem cloning…..

Any idea what that is ? Do you get to see the 403 in any log. I am NOT an e4 committer (which distinguishes me from the rest maybe.

Do you use a corporate proxy to access the Internet?  I cannot reproduce this.

Just another data point, an http clone from my machine works, although I have git 1.7.1

You can also try using the git protocol, instead of http.

git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.orion.client.git

http support was much improved in 1.7+ and that may be your problem.

Comment 5 Denis Roy

Actually, we are running the http smart server for git, which much improves the throughput of http connections for those who cannot use the git protocol, so this may be what is confusing your older client.

From here, I think your only two choices are to either use git:// or to upgrade to a newer client.

switching to git:// protocol helped thanks….Also a collegue has Git 1.7.3.4 and there it works. So I assume that this is the problem.

I am closing it as FIXED.

thanks for your help.
