SyncingLinus' tree today gives this error :

fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: git:

at the command line. And within a sniffed network stream w/ wireshark I can
see something like :

0059git-upload-pack
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git.host=git.kernel.org.git:
'daemon' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

?

Odd thing is that it only fails like that half of the time.

Andreas.

Mee too.

There's a problem with the git installation on one of the geo located
git.kernel.org servers, namely git4.kernel.org located at the University
of Umeå:

bjorn@canardo:~$ telnet git4.kernel.org git
Trying 130.239.17.8...
Connected to git4.kernel.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
git: 'daemon' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Connection closed by foreign host.


I looked around at http://www.kernel.org trying to find an address to report
problems with that specific host, but couldn't find one. So I sent a
report to webmaster. If anyone sees this, please fix. Or take git4 out
of the geo service until it is fixed.

Unfortunately, the problem seems to be more pervasive. git1.kernel.org also errors out on clones/pulls with the error: "fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: git:". I confirm that the return packet payload on the errors is: "git: 'daemon' is not a git command. See 'git --help'".
