hg clone http://..... does not work but hg clone git:// does work. Please help.

[snacht]

Hello, 

I need to hg clone http://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises.git to work. It fails with an http 406 error.

hg clone git://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises.git WORKS (from which deduce that hggit is working; output is "extension 'hg-git' overrides commands: gclear git-cleanup gimport gexport"; I have git out of path when I do this).

git clone http://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises.git (from which I deduce that http is a valid protocol to use).

I conclude that using htgit with a url starting with http does not work. Is that right?

I need this work because the khan-exercises.git is a subrepos of another another project.

Anyone?

Thanks.

You need the 'git' to tell hg which extension to use ...
git+ssh://g...@github.com:lsces/bitweaver ( without the following '.git' is what
I use to get at my github directories.

I think you need to do git+http:// instead of just http://, and you have
to have the latest release version of dulwich and roughly tip of hg-git.

hg clone git+http://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises.git
or better
hg clone git+https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises.git

Make sure you have a recent build of dulwich installed - I think you need 0.8.3 installed for http support.
