Are you aware that enabling this mode allows everyone to push
arbitrary data into your repository without any authentication?


yes


... no authentication is supported by git-daemon, ...


i understand.


 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.


ok.


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]).


oh my, looks like deep yogurt to me.


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, .


that box needs to run windows.


   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.


i may try that if all else fails.


2) Continue to use Windows as a hosting platform but stop using
   git-daemon.  ...


i don't know any iis.


   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.


i am java guy, i will look into jgit.



3) Build Git for Windows from the source  ...


the reason i am trying to get git up is that i want to fool around 
with jenkins.



4) Attempt to binary-patch Git [5] to disable the offending feature
   (on the client *or* the server, not on both).


i'll pass on this one.


 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?


running on the server (localhost) in the foo.git repo. and the same 
thing happens if i try the experiment with two pcs.


thanks for an extremely good answer.

[git-users] newbie confused about git server on windows 8

2013-11-11 Thread Ray Tayek 
hi, i have git version 1.8.4.msysgit.0 installed.

if i run this as a daemon, where are the repositories located? (i.e. where 
do i do a mkdir foo.git; cd foo.git; git init --bare?)

how do i change where the (server) repositories live?

thanks

using --base-path seems to work (thanks konstantin). i created a repository 
with init --bare.
and cloned it with clone git://localhost/foo.git.

i added a file and committed.

doing a push origin master got an acces denied or repository not exported.
so i added --enable=receive-pack to the deamon invocation.

now push origin master says:
 counting objects: 3 done
 writing objects: 100% (3/3)

and then hangs :(

git log says: fatal: bad default revision  'HEAD'

any pointers will be appreciated.

thanks
