Git enlistment failure

Trying to register an enlistment for Myro Bridge, this URL:

http://git.hircus.info/myro_bridge.git

fails with the following message:

The server did not respond to the 'git-ls-remote' command. Is the URL correct?

Yet trying it on the command line works:

$ git ls-remote http://git.hircus.info/myro_bridge.git
05343a9ec7d117f5d50af44474c1ae4615cb405f HEAD
05343a9ec7d117f5d50af44474c1ae4615cb405f refs/heads/master

Am I doing anything wrong? Is this a known bug?

Thanks,

Hi Michel,

Thanks for letting us know about the problem.

It looks like git is not running properly on our servers. We're currently investigating.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Michel,

This turns out to be a problem with an older version of Git. The version of Git we were running on our web servers fails with a segmentation fault if you run ls-remote against this URL.

I have upgraded the version of Git on our web servers (which we were overdue for anyway), and the problem is gone.

If you try enlisting your repository now, it should work fine.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks. I noticed I get a segfault if I use the version of Git installed on my hosting provider (Dreamhost) as well. I should probably ask them to upgrade too.

My Git repository fails with the same style of error:

http://git.fsdev.net/fscode

My server's Git version is 1.6.1.2.

The version of Git on my workstation is 1.6.1.

Hi Chris,

I'm not seeing any kind of error with this repository.

To which Ohloh project are you trying to add this repository? I can possibly handle it behind the scenes if it is not working through the web UI.

Thanks for your response!

I'm working on the Firestorm Code project: https://www.ohloh.net/p/firestormcode

Ironically enough, I tried it again this morning (just to be sure) and it worked this time.

Go figure... crazy computers!

Thanks for your response though!
