I'm trying to setup a Git server on Windows 7, using CopSsh, PuTTY and msysgit. I'm having problems cloning a repository using ssh.
If I use a regular directory path, it works:
$ git clone ~/vc/git/depot/test.git/ /c/dev/es/app
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/dev/es/app/.git/
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
Ssh, doesn't work. I've tried an different paths without success.
$ git clone ssh://steve@test:4837/~/vc/git/depot/test.git/ /c/dev/es/app
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/dev/es/app/.git/
fatal: '~/vc/git/depot/eastApp.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I followed the instructions from here: http://www.timdavis.com.au/git/setting-up-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows/
Any clues?
