Hi,

I'm able to git-clone a tree using ssh:

[root@kd001 t]# git-clone
ssh://erez.zilber@kites/pub/git/erez.zilber/my_test.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/erez.zilber/work/tmp/t/my_test/.git/
erez.zilber@kites's password:
remote: Counting objects: 9, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
remote: Total 9 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (9/9), done.

However, it doesn't work with http/https/git:

[root@kd001 t]# git-clone http://kites/pub/git/erez.zilber/my_test.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/erez.zilber/work/tmp/t/my_test/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

Maybe you should run git-update-server-info in the repository on the
server?

Forgot to mention - I tried to run git-update-server-info from the
repository on the server. I got the same results. BTW - if it works OK
with ssh, I can only guess that git-update-server-info won't help for
http. right?

By the way, try enabling the post-update hook -- it runs
update-server-info for you automatically after pushing to your server
(make the script $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update executable)

Make it executable on the client side before pushing (i.e. in
.git/hooks/post-update) or on the server side after pushing?

Is the git daemon running on your server? You need to configure inetd or
git-daemon yourself, that is not done automatically for you.

I ran git-daemon on the server side like this:

sudo git-daemon --base-path=/pub/git/ --export-all --listen=kites
