Re: git push from client is not updating files on server

My main objective is to create a central public Git server.  I had

From the git client server, I can successfully clone projects in
from the central public Git server using the command below.

git clone
http://<hostname_of_central_public_git_server>/<Project_name>.git

My push seems to be successful too using the command below as I get
the message "Everything up-to-date".

git push

However, when I log into the central public Git server and look at
the files in the project, none of them have change.  I can only see
the changes from the client via Gitweb.

Gitweb and gitk know how to look at .git (bare) repo and display the 
contents.  (I use gitk to verify that a push did what I wanted.)  There 
is no work-tree for a .git repo to do linux "ls" on.  If you really want 
to use commandline you would have to use git commands like git-show, 
git-ls-files, git-cat-file, git-log, etc., to display and interrogate 
the contents of git objects (tags, commits, trees, blobs) in a .git repo.

I suspect reviewing it in gitweb is sufficient to verify that the push 
did what you wanted.  (I don't use gitwet, yet.)
