[git-users] Repository corruption ...
Hi all, recently I got a: remote: fatal: *object 534a44ef7703fdfe13e609b3e87e98bd52af60f8 is corrupted * error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error. fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. fatal: *early EOF* fatal: index-pack failed which later I found that the *read/write permissions* of the git database was wrong. How it went wrong? I do have a *pre-receive* hook that failed with an error and caused a *push*operation to abort. Note that the script does not perform any file operations or changes whatsever - it simply checks the current user and either exits true/false. Nevertheless there was a scripting error which it seems caused git to mangle the read/write permissions of some files. So I fixed it with: chmod -R ug+rwX repo ... and it worked again. Yes - I do suspect git of having a bug ... Hope this helps someone ... --

I'm asking because i was reading http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Getting-Git-on-a-Server and i don't have /opt/git folder, should i make this folder? No, this directory is not installed during Git installation. It's just the place where you'll put Git repositories, so you can pick it yourself. It can be wise to follow any conventions from your operating system, or how your ops/team usually does it. As an example, we keep our git repositories in /var/git, cause that's adjacent to where we used to have the SVN repository installed (/var/svnroot). --

[git-users] quick git repo set up
Hi, I am a newbie with git. I have a linux server(centos 6.2) where i store code and host my website. 2 more guys work with me and we are learning very fast. We all work from windows machine using cygwin. I am wondering, how to quickly set-up a git repo on server and then be able to push and pull from our computers. This is what i did: *On Linux server: *in the folder /home/user1/ I did 1. git init(this created a .git folder in the current folder) 2. created HelloGit.c file and commited it to the repo *Now on Windows machine using cygwin,* I am tryin to pull this repo by trying these, none of which work 1. git clone user1@hostname:/home/user1/.git (This doesn't work) *Then* 2. I tried to create a bare repo and pull on this, so git init --bare and git clone user1@hostname:/home/user1/.git and still it doesn't work . Any help would be great. Thanks --
