Follow-up Comment #1, sr #110932 (project administration): The git:// protocol uses the git-daemon and that is a smart protocol. It's also anonymous for read-only checkouts only not allowing commits. The http and https protocols are also anonymous for read-only checkouts.
I am on travel this week and I won't be able to look to see what is failing with git:// git-daemon not handling that clone command. Are those options new? It's possible that your client is newer than the server and it has simply outpaced the server backend. The https and http protocols have two paths available. The documented path is "git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa.git"; which is documented here. Notice the /git/ in the documentation versus /r/ from your example. https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs The https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa.git path uses the git-http-backend utility from the upstream git suite. That's the smart backend protocol. If you use the smart protocol then you should get fast git clones and other interactions. The path you cited is https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/elpa.git which is the raw file access path. Additionally there is also the rsync:// protocol access to the repositories. As far as I know those paths are not actually documented anywhere but have existed since the beginning. These provide access to the internal structure such as the config file, hooks, and other files that would not otherwise be visible. The raw file access allows read-only access to those files. Since git:// using git-daemon is a smart git protocol I doubt that https:// using git-http-backend also a smart git protocol from the same source will be any different. I would guess that you are using a new client which is using options newer than the server side software. But please try it anyway. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110932> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
