The issue here is that our Git-over-HTTP service uses the "dumb" HTTP protocol; which pulls down commits one by one. The first thing that this service does is to try to locate the HEAD of the repository; which should point to a valid ref (branch). It looks like the HEAD reference on this repository points to a non-existing ref. The owner of the repository should be able to change which branch HEAD points to in the repository using the Gitorious UI. -- Cheers, - Marius -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
