Git repository not exported: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Question

Setting up new git installations.

On one Windows laptop, I\'m running (under cygwin):

git daemon --base-path=/cygdrive/c/work/proj/  

Answer 1

If you are using gitosis you must add the two following lines in gitosis.conf (note: "repo" != "group") :

[repo myrepo]
daemon=yes

When you push gitosis-admin, it will create git-daemon-export-ok automatically.

If you try to create the file manually in the repository instead, it will keep disappearing after some time.
