I have to specify the git-upload-pack with git. Since there are options in the gitconfig file for specifying the upload and receive pack commands on the remote side, why do I have to use the -u option with clone?
My gitconfig contains: [remote "origin"] uploadpack = /path/to/server/git-upload-path receivepack = /path/to/server/git-receive-path If I try: git clone ssh://user@a.b.c.d:/path/to/repo.git I get the dreaded: ksh: git-upload-pack: not found If I include the -u option it works: git clone -u "/path/to/server/git-upload-path" ssh://user@a.b.c.d:/path/to/repo.git Cloning into 'repo'... So apparently git is not using the settings in the config file, so why does the config file even support such options?
