soc dvcs repository doesn't work

[wolf]

Git cloning works well with git.osgeo.org using either ​https://git.osgeo.org/soc or ​https://wolf@git.osgeo.org/soc.

But when I try to push my changes to the repository I need to give my password twice AND I get this error: Unable to create branch path ​https://wolf@git.osgeo.org/soc/info/ error: cannot lock existing info/refs fatal: git-http-push failed

Problem is we'd need to get this fixed asap, since one of our students needs a repository (yeah sorry for the short notice).

morning Wolf,

since in a hurry, I suggest to get the student to submit to Github. Git should be quite simple to migrate to a new home later, it's just a matter of verbally declaring the other tree to be the "primary" one to pull from, right?

That's true. :) Thanks for the hint. I'll set up another temp repo, but then that requires them to register at yet another system :P

Not currently relevant, so marking as minor. We should take another look at this in the near future to have infrastructure to support git in general.

• Multi repo support with trac 0.12 upgrade
• git-web for http/s checkouts
• gitolite for management of user permissions via ssh key?

Not relevant in 2023. Closing as invalid.

• soc = for Summer of Code, currently each project participating organizes where to work
• gitea is been used now
  • no problems on push reported.
  • There is no soc` repository in gitea.
