When trying to 'git pull' to update from another repo I get the error 'fatal: read error (Invalid argument)', but only using the git protocol.
I'm new to git so I checked out the main git tree (git:// git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git) to try it out. After noticing on the gitweb site that changes have been made, I tried to 'git pull' but I get the error listed above. Next I tried to update over http which appears to have been successful. I have tried this a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a one off and get the same result every time. I have also tried the same procedure using the freedesktop.org repo, and again the same result (though they don't seem to offer http access, so I can't check that). 'git pull' does also work on local (disk) repos. So it appears to be only over the git protocol that I have problems. Is this a known problem? Any advice on how to get this working would be appreciated.
