Re: Problem cloning the Linux history tree

Dear diary, on Fri, Nov 04, 2005 at 10:21:46AM CET, I got a letter
where Wolfgang Denk [off-list ref] told me that...

In message [ref] you wrote:

That repository is packed but lacks objects/info/packs file.
Perhaps you need to ask tglx to run git-update-server-info in
the repository.

I have the same (or a very similar) problem with our Linux repo:

Cloned to foo/ (origin http://www.denx.de/git/linux-2.6-denx.git available as branch "origin")

And I did run git-update-server-info, even with --force.

And what exactly is the problem? It seemed to clone ok.

In the server log I see messages like these:

[Fri Nov 04 09:54:52 2005] [error] [client 84.150.96.170] File does not exist: /srv/git/linux-2.6-denx.git/objects/01

..snip..

The fetching code first tries to look into the unpacked object store
(that are those errors) and if that fails, it grabs a pack.
