The odds are very good that Git itself is working fine on the production machine, and that it's able to contact the remote system. The trouble is that the remote system doesn't like the HTTP request, probably because it doesn't think your end has authenticated itself correctly. A less-likely cause would be that Git isn't making the request "properly", and a web proxy (or elaborate firewall) is intercepting the request and denying it. Can you manually make the same HTTP request work? "wget" is a good tool for that. Of course, you have to find out what URL is actually being fetched, although a fetch of "/" will get you some information. If you use an http: URL for the repository and snoop the network traffic, you can find the URL used in the HTTP request. (You can do that on your development system.) Or get it with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1, as Konstantin suggests. Dale --
