If Git throws the same error, I'd say there are just two possibilities: * /etc/pki/nssdb is hard-coded to Git (or, rather, supposedly to the cURL's code -- Git uses libcurl for HTTP[S] access, and that, in turn, uses some backend to do HTTPS -- libnss in your case, it seems). * This env. variable is not exported so that it's seen in your shell but the Git process does not inherit it which causes libnss to use the default value for that path. What happens if you do $ export SSL_DIR="$HOME/.ssl" $ git clone ... ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
