cutcrap?

cutcrap?

[John Heim]

I'm still having problems with the speakup git repository. I'm getting a 
message saying git cannot pull head/cutcrap. The name leads me to believe 
this is something that's not supposed to be there anyway.

# git-clone http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git
error: Couldn't get http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git/refs/heads/cutcrap 
for heads/
cutcrap
The requested URL returned error: 404
error: Could not interpret heads/cutcrap as something to pull

This doesn't seem to be a temporary problem. I can't be sure but I think 
I've been getting this same error message for weeks.

Are you perhaps using an http proxy? If so, try to disable it.

No, no proxy.  But I believe this is a bug in the git-core package in debian 
etch (aka stable). I have run the git-core command on several machines at 
work and it had that same problem. I ran it on my machine at home and it 
worked. I started investigating network issues but then it occured to me 
that I'm running debian sid at home and etch at work. I upgraded a machine 
to sid, tried the git-clone, and it worked.

So it's debian etch, not my network.
