yes, but http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable-standalone.git is a small repository, just containing the btrfs driver.  even if kernel repo is 100 times bigger, i don`t see the point why this should not work. if it puts too much load on the server and/or doesn`t work anyway, then it`s better to disable that instead of letting stupid users like me waste their time with that ;)

i did, but it didn`t work either. i`m behind a http proxy. that`s why i chose the gitweb option.

Right, I missed that.

Right again,
$ git clone \
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable-standalone.git
fails here after a few objects with
Cannot obtain needed blob ca442d313d86dc67e0a2e5d584b465bd382cbf5c
while processing commit 96dd95de14c77309abd2521d06c4825162b85e0a.
fatal: Fetch failed.

Chris, you should enable fetching over http by
$ cd /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable-standalone.git
$ cp -p hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update
Also run git-update-server-info unless you are pushing something soon
again anyway.

Cloning a full kernel repo over http may be too unreliable, but cloning
a smaller repo like the btrfs standalone repo should work acceptably
over http.

I notice that the .git/hooks/post-update still calls it
"git-update-server-info".  Shouldn't that be "git
update-server-info"?

[my git is 1.6.0.2, but even on a checked out though not
compiled-and-installed 1.6.0.4 it is the same]

Maybe git bundle can help.  Perhaps there can be some
documented way of creating a HTTP-downloadable bundle from
the current "master" in any web-accessible git to make
things really easy for first time downloaders, maybe updated
only once in a month or so.  Anyone having trouble doing a
clone would get this, fetch it in, set up remote/origin, and
then do a normal pull...

Thanks for the hint.

I fixed the missing commit, but in this case the stand alone tree is
actually generated from the full kernel tree and has an alternates entry
pointing to the full kernel tree.  The end result was not at all good
for http clones.

So I've redone the stand alone tree a bit and it is now a clone of the
clone of the second child of the 3rd son of the original unstable tree.
Hopefully it'll work better, at least http clones work for me now.

Well, OK, it needs to be "git foo" in manual invocation.  The
.git/hooks/ may continue to call "git-foo" because they have the
necessary directory in their $PATH.

The kernel repo is more than 100 times as big as this emerald repo, 400
times as big perhaps.  Try to download with git.

www.kernel.org lists a contact address.

problem with git.kernel.org

[devzero]

Hello, 

i`m not 100% sure, but i believe there is a problem with the kernel.org gitweb.

IŽm trying to download a btrfs snapshot via http ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable-standalone.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD
)  to be able to try btrfs with current kernel, but i get no tar.gz but just see "Generating....." for a long time and then getting a timeout.

this seems to apply to all git repositories hosted on kernel.org.

For comparison, this one behaves as expected:
http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=fusion/decorators/emerald;a=snapshot;h=HEAD

As there is no adress how to contact, can someone confirm and/or please forward this mail to the gitweb admin ?

thanks

regards
roland
