Issue 850 - git post-receive hook is not calling git-update-server-info (indefero)

[no-r...@ceondo.com]

Hello,

A new issue has been created and assigned
to you:

850 - git post-receive hook is not calling git-update-server-info
Project: Indefero
Status: New
Reported by: Nikolaus Schaller
Labels:
Type:Defect
Priority:Medium

Description:

the default post-receive hook does a

exec git update-server-info

but the Indefero's version calls a gitpostupdate.php script.

The result is that the server-info isn't updated which makes problems when cloning the git repository over http.

A (very short) description of how that works is here:

<quote>
$ git clone http://github.com/schacon/simplegit-progit.git
The first thing this command does is pull down the info/refs file. This file is written by the update-server-info command, which is why you need to enable that as a post-receive hook in order for the HTTP transport to work properly

So it is not possible to http-clone an indefero git - unless I call git update-server-info manually.
