ASF Infra does not yet officially support native git as the main repo. The officially supported repo right now is svn. Git is only "officially" supported via the git-svn interface. There are a few projects who have been allowed to conduct an experiment of native git support. These projects are able to use read-write git on the ASF git repo. So far, the only way a project has been considered for this support is if they have a person who is knowledgable in git admin who is willing to join the infra git support team. I know we have people who have expressed willingness to help, but I don't know if those people would consider themselves knowledgable in git admin. At some point in the future the ASF will have full support for git. I think they are hoping to work on that later this year, but no official timetable has been set. So for now we're not going to be able to do git push. It must be done using the git-svn interface. Greg
