Query about status of http-pull

Hi,

Recently cogito again say that the rsync method will be deprecated in
future (due to http-pull now supporting pack objects I suppose), but it
seems to me that it still have other issues:

-----
lycan linux-2.6 # git pull origin
Fetching HEAD using http

If you switch it however to rsync again, it works just fine.  Other
branches like that of KLIBC and one or two others do not even pull via
http-pull.

So basically the question is if this is known issues (had mail issues,
so missed the last week or so's mail) ?


Thanks,

It looks like pack-c24bb5025e835a3d8733931ce7cc440f7bfbaaed isn't in the
pack list. I suspect that updating this file should really be done by
anything that creates pack files, because people forget to run the program
that does it otherwise and then http has problems.
