Description
Susan McCourt
John helped me get going here. I changed the repository URL on the clones page to use ssh. So maybe the to-do for this bug is: - fix the spelling error - maybe warn the user if they are cloning using a read only protocol? I probably would have caught my error at that point... decreasing severity. The typo has been fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=5e54492dc54c2f06d0ca3462cd5132e03a0fadb0. As for the warning, I have a doubt. AFAIK it’s possible to push over HTTP, but it's a rare configuration indeed.

The good news is that the error message was specific, so as soon as I realized what URL I had used, I knew why it was happening. So maybe the error message just needs to make a suggestion? Something like: error 500 while running operation: Remote does not support smart HTTP push. You will need to use an alternate protocol, such as ssh, to push changes.

So maybe the error message > just needs to make a suggestion? Or maybe we should just show a link to a page with hints? I've hit this several times. I think you need a solution. BTW: The googlecode git system does not use git:// at all, only HTTPS. http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GitFAQ Let me know I can ask them if they have a suggestion for this issue. Maybe two links to clone? Clone Writable Repository Clone Readable Repository Then do some test to verify?
