Hi Bruce
Short version:
0. Using git on WinXP from
http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-1.5.5-preview20080413.exe
1. When a proxy is required, the error message isn't very helpful:
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
2. I can't get git config to set the proxy
3. When I use a shell variable, I can set the proxy, but I still have
trouble cloning git over http.
John.
Long version:
I'm back behind my proxy.
I've tried
$ git config --global http.proxy http://proxyname:80
and
$ git config --global http.proxy proxyname:80
but neither seems to work:
$ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git2
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/[path]/git2/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
When I try
$ export http_proxy=http://proxyname:80
then the following at least starts to work:
$ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git
$ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git2
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/[path]/git2/.git/
