Bare Repository

[ghost]

Hi,

I am following the following guide regarding updating a website:
http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto

Everything works great except when I issue the command git fat pull which then issues the following command:
rsync --progress --ignore-existing --from0 --files-from=- fat.antispaceman.com:/var/repository/ ./fat/objects/
I can ssh into that host and have checked that the git objects are there. However it always says that there are no objects and nothing to update. When I run the command directly, it just hangs. git fat status seems to be aware that there are files that need downloading but some reason rsync doesn't agree. I temporarily updated git fat on my server to do:
rsync --progress --ignore-existing --recursive fat.antispaceman.com:/var/repository/ ./fat/objects/
Then git fat works as expected. I don't want to be running a custom git fat. I run git fat elsewhere and don't have a problem with it.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the cause of the problem?

Regards,
Matt
