Re: [PROBLEM] Checkout from cloned repository does not work

I double checked that -- no, it does not print out an error. I copied
the exact output in the original mail. 

Which ended with the error message "Somebody should define
smarter http server protocol".  That's from git-clone-script and
the echo to generate the output is followed by "exit 1".

How about "must do chmod before pushing anything to this repository"? I
think I tried chmod at some point but always did it too late (i.e. after
the initial push).

I think "at this point" in the flow of tutorial text would be
explicit enough, but I am not very good at writing
documentation, so rewording/clarifying patches are always
welcome.

You could always run git-update-server-info manually after
pushing if you forgot to enable the hook.  If you are paranoid
you could run it with '-f' flag to rebuild the info from
scratch.
