Error cloning from Git Repository

Hello All,
I am trying to setup a git repository and then publish it using
git-daemon and inetd for other developers in the network to access the
sources.
Server Setup
-------------------
Host system running on Fedora Core 8
Git version 1.5.4.3
A summary of what I have done to setup the Git server is as follows:
$ mkdir /home/kanagesh/test-repo
$ cd test-repo
$ vi test.c <insert text, save, quit>
$ git-init-db
$ git-config user.name kanagesh
$ git-config user.email rkanagesh@gmail.com
$ git-add test.c
$ git-commit -a -m"Initial Commit"
# mkdir -p /var/cache/git
# ln -s /home/kanagesh/test-repo/.git test-repo
# ls -l
test-repo -> /home/kanagesh/test-repo/.git
xinetd has been setup to listen for git requests on port 9418 and
spawn git-daemon. This has been done by placing a config file named
'git' under /etc/xinetd.d. The contents of the config file is as
follows:
service git
{
disable = no
type = UNLISTED
port = 9418
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/local/bin/git-daemon
server_args = --inetd --export-all
--base-path=/var/cache/git --syslog --verbose
log_on_failure += USERID
}
Clone from the Server
-------------------------------
When I attempt to clone the source from the Git server, I end up with
the following error:
[kanagesh@localhost test]$ git-clone git://192.168.13.171/test-repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/kanagesh/work/test/test-repo/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from 'git://192.168.13.171/test-repo' failed.
On checking the log messages in /var/log/messages, I see the following:
May 7 17:29:19 localhost xinetd[17108]: START: git pid=17128
from=::ffff:192.168.13.171
May 7 17:29:19 localhost git-daemon: [17128] Connection from
192.168.13.171:42360
May 7 17:29:19 localhost git-daemon: [17128] Extended attributes (21
bytes) exist <host=192.168.13.171>
May 7 17:29:19 localhost git-daemon: [17128] Request upload-pack for
'/test-repo'
May 7 17:29:19 localhost xinetd[17108]: EXIT: git status=255
pid=17128 duration=0(sec)
Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly? Any pointers on how
to get a more verbose log from git-daemon would also be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kanagesh
