I'm using git to manage a tiny project. I've been performing all of my transactions (clone, push, pull, etc) through SSH, but recently ran git-update-server-info because I wanted to experiment with running git-clone over http. It worked great. Cool. Now I realize though that anyone can clone my repository over http without any creden...
I often have the case that I want to work on a SVN repository right away. But an ordinary git svn clone [url] also clones the entire history. So I want to speed things up. The first part is to fetch only the last revision into your Git repository. I do it like so: URL=http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ REV=`svn info $UR...

According to the manual, the post-checkout hook is run after a git checkout (just as expected) but also after a git clone (unless you pass --no-checkout). Very well, now, considering the following: you don't have a local repository before a git clone hooks are not synced between remotes hooks stored in a custom template directory used...
I'm cloning a git repository from a computer that's going to be wiped. Is it possible to clone a repository without making the original repository origin/master? Or do I need to clone it, and then delete the remote branch (which is done with git remote rm origin)? Edit: The repository has only one branch, and no tags. ...
Hi! I have a repro in which I want to push changes. I want to sync two repositories: ./pages.git into ./pages. My git setup on my development machine pushes into pages.git. But the web-application works with ./pages. git clone pages.git pages fatal: destination path 'pages' already exists and is not an empty directory. Well now I d...
Given a repository served over HTTP whose owner forgot to chmod +x hooks/post-update, is there a workaround for cloning it? I tried running wget --mirror url, but rather than fetching the subtree only, it tried to mirror the entire site—which I assume happened due to the parent-directory links in the autogenerated index.html resources. ...

Hi All, A friend of mine and I have been trying to use git for a project. It is hosted on his server, and I git clone it as: git clone [email protected]:/path/to/git/repos.git Pretty standard stuff, and it works great for a while.
