Re: cannot use stable 2.6.25.y tree with HTTP

Hi Greg,

At the risk of being a pest, I'm following up on my note of last week
about how the stable-2.6.25.y tree is frozen at 2.6.25.4 when accessed
via HTTP.  That's the only protocol I can use, and so I cannot pull
the newer versions.  Is there any hope of fixing this?

% git pull -v

From http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y

 = [up to date]      master     -> origin/master
Already up-to-date.

% ls .git/refs/tags/v2.6.25.*
.git/refs/tags/v2.6.25.1  .git/refs/tags/v2.6.25.3
.git/refs/tags/v2.6.25.2  .git/refs/tags/v2.6.25.4

Argh, this is getting annoying.

git developers, do I need to do something to get git-update-server-info
to run on kernel.org every time I do a push so that I don't have to do
it by hand (and then forget for new releases, like I did above?)

I thought I remember a script somewhere telling me what to put into a
trigger in the git documentation a long time ago.

Oh, wait, is it just:
	chmod +x my-git.git/hooks/post-update

as the core-tutorial.txt file shows?  Is that all that is needed?

thanks,

Just do the hook:

Indeed.

Great, I've now done that on all -stable trees that I can on kernel.org.

Andrew, please let me know if you have problems with this in the future,
sorry for the mess.
