Thanks for the reply. I will ask the system administrator about git. It is installed on the server machine and git-upload-pack is on the PATH. Not sure why I get the error though. On the school account when try git --version I also get
git: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory cURL is not well installed I guess. > (my client, laptop) is invoking git commands on the server to make > a pack for you, and more. Ok, understandable. What if I can mount my linux account's home directory on a local mount point of my laptop. If this is possible, then I could just use the local version of the git to make the pack and use the server space, merely as a space (just like my USB stick). Does this make sense? thanks a lot.
