Problem with the dump HTTP transport

Hi Junio,

after you released 1.0.0, I tried to pull it over HTTP, but it fails with the following output:

# cg-update
Fetching head...
Fetching objects...
Getting alternates list for http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/

cg-fetch: objects fetch failed

Both, git and cogito, are the latest versions from yesterday. So it seems every time you repack, you need to do something extra to keep the dump HTTP transport happy.

The last sentence is correct and I do that (the magic word is git-update-server-info, and that is done as part of git-repack automatically), but it does not seem to apply here. It most likely is a mirroring delay. That c2f3... object is the commit at the tip of the master branch, and the repository is fully packed right now (except v1.0.0 tag object which is loose).

it is still not working. How long does it take on www.kernel.org to mirror it from the master.
