I am trying to setup gitolite on my server (Macos server).
I followed the instructions in the INSTALL document found here : http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/1-INSTALL.html
I installed the root method.
I got everything setup (ssh pubkey authentication and default gitolite setup)
$ssh git@server info
hello admin, the gitolite version here is v1.5.9.1-27-gb97115f
the gitolite config gives you the following access:
R W gitolite-admin
@R_ @W_ testing
According to installation instruction I should be able to checkout a repository.
But when I try to clone the gitolite-admin repositry I get an error:
$ git clone git@server:gitolite-admin
Cloning into gitolite-admin...
Assertion failed: (argv0_path), function system_path, file exec_cmd.c, line 27.
error: git-shell died of signal 6
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I got the latest git version of gitolite and git v. 1.7.3.4
Can anybody help me?
Edit 1: added git clone command before error message
Answer
It seems the correct fix to this error is to add
$ENV{GIT_EXEC_PATH} = "/usr/libexec/git-core";
to your .gitolite.rc file.
