Description Brian de Alwis

2011-08-18 12:12:47 EDT

I was trying some of the examples in the Git guide:

   http://wiki.eclipse.org/Git

The examples using ssh: or git: don't work:

   git clone ssh://bdealwis@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/babel/org.eclipse.babel.server.git
   git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/babel/org.eclipse.babel.server.git

I also tried with /c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git, where I should have access:

  $ git clone git://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/
  Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/bsd/Manumitting/Projects/e4/eclipse.platform.ui/.git/
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've tried git 1.7.3.4 and 1.6.1.

(I'm trying these URLs as compared to the http: URLs because of bug 355112)

I've removed those examples, since that repo doesn't exist anymore.

I'm renaming this bug to disable cloning from cgit (the web front-end).  cgit doesn't support the smart server.  If you clone using the clone URLs at the bottom of each repo page, you'll notice the http URLs support the smart server.

That's a pity (for me) since bzr-git doesn't yet support smart-server over http.  Oh well. Thanks Denis.

Our current version of cgit doesn't (easily) allow me to disable cloning directly from cgit, so I've put these rewrite rules which do just that:

# Prevent people from cloning from cgit
RewriteRule ^/c/(.*/objects/[0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38})$          /c/  [F,L]
RewriteRule ^/c/(.*/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.(pack|idx))$ /c/  [F,L]

This has been fixed.
