Re: maybe breakage with latest git-pull and http protocol

Sorry, but this is not a description of your problem helpful
enough for someone who is willing to look at it, I am afraid.
http://www.kernel.org/ has 80 or so repos (I counted about a
month ago so it may probably have more by now) --- which ones?

I have local repositories used only to test pulling into them,
and I pull from Linus 2.6 kernel, and my own git repository,
every other day or so, but haven't seen breakage, so I do not
think it is http://www.kernel.org/. in general.  If some
particular repository is not set up HTTP friendly I would
understand.

Also how does it fail?  Does cloning from scratch succeed but
updating a repo that was in sync a few days ago fail?  Does it
die silently and you find the breakage by running fsck-object,
or does it fail loudly with error messages?  If the latter what
does it say?

My previous message mentioned cogito.git breaking.  This message
was triggered because git.git itself broke.

Unfortunately, git.git hasn't been updated since the last time I
worked around the problem by switching to rsync again, but when it
does, I'll capture the breakage this time.

Can you give a general description of what happens? I've noticed that I 
sometimes get spurious error messages that don't actually affect the 
download, which I haven't tracked down yet.

OK, it happened this morning.  While syncing to update from
yesterday's version, I got:

Definitely broken.  But I can "rsync" just fine.

Which version of curl did you build with?
