Hi, I am relatively new to GIT (coming from CVS and SVN) and I am trying to setup "Git Daemon" on windows.

I got it working for Local network communications:

Cloning into 'clone10'...

but it fails over the wire when using the public host domain:

d:\local\wc5\testgit>git clone git://public.example.dom/http clone11

fatal: read error: Invalid argument
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Sometimes its a different initial fatal error but generally the same. Once or twice, a repeat MAY work, but often not.

First of all, welcome to Git.
Second, which version of Git are you using ? And which version of Windows ?
Third, I don't think that this has to do with Git Daemon.
       When I look at "read error: Invalid argument", it may be fixed in the
       latest version.
       And that why it is important to know the version you are using.

And, there is a special place to report problems with Git for Windows:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki (hope I got it right),
but please feel free to continue here on the mailing list.
