When getting files from such a repo, git-annex tries -two urls. One url would be used by a bare repo, and the other by a non-bare -repo. (This is due to the directory hashing change.) Result is every file -download from a non-bare http repo starts with a 404 and then it retries -with the right url. - -Since git-annex already downloads the .git/config to find the uuid of the -http repo, it could also look at it to see if the repo is bare. If not, -set a flag, and try the two urls in reverse order, which would almost -always avoid this 404 problem. - -(The real solution is probably to flag day and get rid of the old-style -directory hashing, but that's been discussed elsewhere.) - ---[[Joey]] - -[[done]] |
