Package: git-daemon-run
Version: 1:1.7.2.3-2.2 (squeeze)
Severity: important
I've setted up git-daemon in order to test it.
I've tried both a localhost setup and a remote setup on lan
1) I've modified the run script adding the following switches:
--export-all --enable=receive-pack
2) I've restarted the daemon with:
sv stop git-daemon && sv start git-daemon
3) I've created a test tree:
cd /var/cache/git && git --bare init test
4) I've cloned it in a user home:
git clone git://localhost/git/test
5) I've made few trivial modifications
(touched a file, git add 'ed it, git commit'ed it)
6) I've pushed it:
git push origin master
7) the following error arisen:
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit
as proof:
1) erased the cloned project
2) repeated all steps by using the local path:
git clone /var/cache/git/test, etc...
no issue arisen and changes have been pushed to master
as second proof:
1) I've created a new project on a remote machine on a lan
2) I've tried to clone, commit and push via git:// and got the same unpack
error
3) erased all
4) mounted the git repo folder via nfs
5) performed all cloning, commit, push operations via the nfs mount
no problem arisen
as third proof:
1) removed the git-daemon-run
2) dowloaded the òatest stable code from upstrime
3) compiled and launched the git-daemon-tool
4) re done the hole stuff
5) no error arisen
conclusion: a bug stops users to push with the provided daemon.

Source-Version: 1:2.47.1-1
The latest version of git in sid does not include runit configuration
any more, meaning this bug no longer applies.
I enjoyed using it, but it isn't responsible from a security
perspective to keep it as a recommended configuration. Thanks for the
helpful user input while it was included.
