For posterity, the issue was that the `git` command itself needs to be in the
jail also. This is not written down anywhere. I only determined it after
reading the source code for `git-http-backend`.
This is my init script now:
# cd /var/www
# for c in git git-http-backend git-upload-pack git-receive-pack ; do
for f in `ldd /usr/local/libexec/git/$c | grep '/usr/' | grep
-v ':' | awk '{print $7}'`; do
d=`dirname $f | sed 's#^/##'`
mkdir -p $d
cp $f $d
done
done
Also, regarding the rewrite rules mentioned before, they are only needed if
wanting to discriminate between `git` and web requests pointing to the same URL.
