I am testing out git using centos 5.2 as the server and windows xp as the agent. when i try to push a project to the central server from the agent OR clone a project from the server to the agent i type in

git push git://*.*.108.215/root/code/code.git HEAD

and get the message:
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

OR

git clone git:// *.*.108.215/root/code/code.git

and receive the error message:

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from '*.*.108.215/root/code/code.git' failed.

so i guess my question is does anybody have any idea of what i might be doing wrong?

many thanks

I'm having a similar problem...
I'm able to clone from my repository using git clone but I can't push. I'm also on CentOS 5. I have a suspicion that this has something to do with permissions but I'm really unsure.

I'm using my macbook as my client. sample session:

macbook2:/ Al$ git clone git://mydomain.com/cs.git test
Initialized empty Git repository in /test/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
macbook2:/ Al$ cd test/
macbook2:testss Al$ git push origin master
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Please help! I have no idea how to debug this!
