Are you aware that enabling this mode allows everyone to push arbitrary data into your repository without any authentication? Let me repeat: no authentication is supported by git-daemon, and that's why you have to jump through the hoops to even allow (the usual) read-only access by this daemon to a repository, and enabling write access requires a special command-line option. In other words, this kind of setup is reserved for special cases in a controlled environment. now push origin master says: counting objects: 3 done writing objects: 100% (3/3) and then hangs :( This is a known bug in Git for Windows [1] which turned out to be incredibly hard to track down. Since no one pushes to git-daemon anyway, the bug is still not fixed. It has been discovered that disabling a certain feature known as side-band-64k push protocol extension [2] helps (see comments #1 and #2 in [1]). So to help the problem you basically have several options: 1) Host your shared Git repos on a box running an OS native to Git, such as something implementing POSIX (GNU/Linux, *BSD, Darwin etc). This will make setting up conventional server-side Git setup basically a no-op as a working SSH server is just one package install away. Setting up Git behind an HTTP server is more complicated but well documented. You could also opt for using some front-end to virtualize Git users if SSH is used for providing access; the most popular is gitolite [9]. IMO, in our brave new world full of cheap virtualization, this is *the* way to go: just grab an OS [3] and install it in on a virtualised server. A VPS/VDS is also an option. 2) Continue to use Windows as a hosting platform but stop using git-daemon. There are guides on setting up a Git server behind IIS using nothing but bare hands, but special solutions for this do exist [6], [7]. Another solution is to use gitblit [8] -- it does not use Git for Windows on the server at all relying instead on a pure Java library called JGit. 3) Build Git for Windows from the source (it's free software, so it comes with full source code and a development environment to build it -- *this* is what really called msysGit [4]), having disabled that side-band-64k feature. I don't know how to disable it for sure, so have no off-hand solution to this. 4) Attempt to binary-patch Git [5] to disable the offending feature (on the client *or* the server, not on both). This actually breaks the push protocol -- the parties will present a differing names for the same feature and so it won't be negotiated. IMO, this stinks. And you'll have to repeat patching after installing a new version. git log says: fatal: bad default revision 'HEAD' You failed to tell us where you're running this -- on the client or on the server? 1. http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=457 2. https://github.com/git/git/commit/a886ba2 3. http://www.debian.org 4. http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?q=net+installer 5. http://billauer.co.il/blog/2012/10/git-pull-windows-freeze-receive-pack/ 6. http://gitweb.codeplex.com/ 7. https://bonobogitserver.codeplex.com/ 8. http://gitblit.com/ 9. https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] files case name changes detection.
Hi All, I would like to be able to prevent case name changes done on windows clients and being pushed to our linux remote repository. when pulled, it confuses the other windows clients and messes things up. I want to use a hook for that along with the rename detection mechanism of git, if I can call it this way. my question is - what would be the best way to approach this in the hook ? detect the rename and check the content is the same (sha1 check ? ) am I wrong regarding the approach in general and there is a much better way to do this ?

How about parsing the output of `git status` in a pre-commit hook and checking whether the same filename string appears twice, ignoring case? I'm not on a Windows machine, so I can't really test this. I'm on some OSX semi-case insensitive system where changing the casing of a filename doesn't even register in Git. I need to first `git rm` the file, create the new one with the same contents and stage it in order to see the rename: # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use git reset HEAD file... to unstage) # # renamed:pom.xml - POM.xml # As soon as I do `git reset`, the change is gone. Quite funny. Anyhow, I'm not sure how all these corner cases will work out on your filesystem.

[git-users] Git with http protocol and DAV module
I follow the instruction for creating a repository with http protocol with mod DAV. The instruction say each time user want a new repository, need to create bare repository, cd to the repository directory and run: *mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update**chmod a+x hooks/post-update* *git update-server-info* A regular user cannot do it because he don't have login access to the git server. I would like to know if there is a way to give a regular user to create a new repository alone, from his local workstation, without administrator help from the git server side?
