I have the same problem with git and webdav. While .netrc solution provides a workaround (thanks for the hint), isn't it a bit unsatisfying? On OS X, git asks for my password, so I did not have to use .netrc. On ubuntu at first I tried supplying basic auth info in the url (user:passw...@url) which led to the error described here. And that workaround also has me putting my password into a file in clear text.
Also man netrc states that netrc was intended for ftp. I don't really like putting my password into a file that is readable system wide. -- git push return "Error: cannot lock existing info/refs" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
