#604: soc dvcs repository doesn't work
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: wolf | Owner: sac@…
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: blocker | Milestone:
Component: Systems Admin | Keywords: dvcs, git, soc
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Git cloning works well with git.osgeo.org using either
https://git.osgeo.org/soc or https://wolf@git.osgeo.org/soc.

But when I try to push my changes to the repository I need to give my
password twice AND I get this error:
Unable to create branch path https://wolf@git.osgeo.org/soc/info/
error: cannot lock existing info/refs
fatal: git-http-push failed

Problem is we'd need to get this fixed asap, since one of our students
needs a repository (yeah sorry for the short notice).

Comment(by hamish):

morning Wolf,

since in a hurry, I suggest to get the student to submit to Github. Git
should be quite simple to migrate to a new home later, it's just a matter
of verbally declaring the other tree to be the "primary" one to pull from,
right?

That's true. :slight_smile: Thanks for the hint. I'll set up another temp repo, but
then that requires them to register at yet another system :stuck_out_tongue:

  * priority: blocker => minor

Comment:

Not currently relevant, so marking as minor. We should take another look
at this in the near future to have infrastructure to support git in
general.
  * Multi repo support with trac 0.12 upgrade
  * git-web for http/s checkouts
  * gitolite for management of user permissions via ssh key?
