[git-users] git can't find remote helper for https (but it's there)
Hi,
I installed git 1.8.5.4 from source under $HOME/bin. My system is SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (x86_64)
After installation I cannot clone repos from https urls, getting the
following error:
$ git clone https://github.com/apbarrero/pyrad.git
Cloning into 'pyrad'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
I checked that git is properly compiled against libcurl-devel and
libexpat-devel packages. Then I tryed using git-remote-https installed
under $HOME/bin/libexec/git-core/ and it worked fine to connect to the same
remote:
$ $HOME/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https
https://github.com/apbarrero/pyrad.git

So I guess it's an installation problem. Any clue on how git locates remote
helpers installed in the system?
Thanks.

I looked at this post in stackoverflowhttp://stackoverflow.com/a/16946531/198011 and use strace to find out git clone is trying to look for remote helpers under $HOME/bin/libexec/git-core, but make install left the libexec/git-coredirectory under$HOME, instead of $HOME/bin. Creating a soft link under $HOME/bin/ to ../libexec got it working. So it is rather an installation issue or a bug in the directory list where git looks for binaries under libexec.

Re: [git-users] Re: git can't find remote helper for https (but it's there)
Just followed first paragraph in INSTALL an run: $ make make install But I found it was my environment that was wrong, not a git build system issue. I had GIT_EXEC_PATH pointing to an NFS directory where an older version of git-core binaries was installed, just unsetting the env variable makes git installation under $HOME/bin work, even removing the soft link to ../libexec. Thanks for helping!

Re: [git-users] git stash and --skip-worktree files
On Sun, 9 Feb 2014 13:52:20 -0800 (PST) Mickey Killianey mickey.killia...@gmail.com wrote: My team is starting to use the --skip-worktree flag on files to allow them to keep modified files in their working directories. Ideally, they'd like an option for git-stash to apply to skip-worktree files, just as it can (optionally) be applied to untracked files, so that skip-worktree files could be included when saving and restored (ideally, with the skip-worktree bit set) on a git-stash pop. (1) I don't see an option for git-stash to support skip-worktree files...is it there and I'm just not seeing it? (2) Does anyone know if there's a reason why this is not possible/unreasonable to support/philosophically discouraged? (3) If it is reasonable, where would the right place be to suggest/request this feature? I'm happy to look at making such changes to git-stash.sh, but before I do so, I'd love to know that such work would be aligned with their designs for git-stash. (For example, if the git team would only want such an option if it also included the ability to stash assume-unchanged files, too, that would be useful to know before I start making changes.) I'm afraid you'll have to reach for the main Git list [1] which is frequented by the Git devs. But while the contents of your question does indicate you possess a reasonably advanced technical level, I'm oblidged to ask: did you consider using template files to achieve your goal? I mean, the necessity to have locally-modified files most frequently relates to configuration files and stuff like this, and a sensible approach to deal with this case is to keep templates of such files in the repository (with special filenames, like the .template extension added to each) and force the devs to *copy* them and tweak appropriately for their systems. Would it work for your case? 1. https://gist.github.com/tfnico/4441562 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Re: [git-users] hook file encoding for text files

I would like to check the file encoding on all text files, so how can I get all file types that are handled as text file from git. I have defined some types in the gitattributes. I'm afraid there's no definitive answer: the repo itself does not care about whether a file is binary or test--it just stores its contents. So... Either your bare repo should have its very own .gitattributes or you might have the pre-push hook extract this file from what's committed (or from some well-known commit, probably tagged appropriately), and then use it. In either case, you'll have to parse this file yourself as I'm afraid there's no git tool which would do that for you (in the spirit of `git config`). Still, it's not clear to me how you're supposed to check the file encoding on your blobs: if you intend to merely hunt for bytes with values = 127, then multi-byte UTF-8 sequences might legitimately contain bytes with values = 127, so the whole thing stinks IMO. You could possibly get away going from the other end--trying to `iconv` the file's contents from UTF-8 to whatever ANSI encoding your devs are supposed to have on their Windows boxes, and see if it fails--if it does, the file *might* be encoded in that ANSI encoding. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] Can you build git-remote-http with no dependencies on libcrypto and libssl?
Hi- I am git noob so please be kind... We are trying to use git as part of our product, and have run into a problem with Red Had 6 systems. Since our IT department only lets developers use RH5.6 systems we didn't find out about this until pretty late in the project. The issue is that git 1.8.3 has a dependency on libcrypto.so.6 and libssl.so.6. Or more precisely, git-remote-http seems to have dependencies on these libraries. On our RH5.6 boxes, not a problem as they are found in /lib64. On RH6 (kernel version 2.6.32-431), big problem, they aren't found at all when I run git, or do ldd git-remote-http to check the dependencies. As best I can tell, these libraries are not included in the RH6 standard installation. Now I could beg our IT to install the necessary RPMs on our RH6 boxes (and yes it will take considerable groveling and begging) but it doesn't seem that will solve the problem when our s/w is installed by RH6 customers. They will presumably see the same: git-remote-help: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6 error that I see. I've tried building git with SSL disabled by running configure with the --with-openssl=no option. That results in a git binary that doesn't have the dependency on libcrypto, but does nothing about the dependencies in git-remote-help. Any ideas?

They will presumably see the same: This may or may not help you, but one possibility is to build an RPM that states a dependency on the RPM(s) that contain libcrypto and libssl. Or rather, I think you can state a dependency on those versions of the library. Then, when customers try to load the new Git RPM, it requires them to load the dependencies. This assumes that the customers actually have the dependency RPMs to load. If you can't expect the customers to have the dependency RPMs, all you can do is build a special version that doesn't contain the commands (or whatever) that needs the dependencies.
