It seems that I have to create the master repository with "git init --bare" and then push from the slave after adding a file. Adding a file on the master is also apparently a bad idea.
This is annoying, pity git is what all the cool kids use nowadays.
Yeah, if you need a checked out workspace on the remote, the usual pattern is to use a hook to do it. We have a $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update and something along the lines of #!/bin/sh # # An example hook script to prepare a packed repository for use over # dumb transports. # # To enable this hook, rename this file to "post-update". echo echo "* Updating devel repository *" echo cd /shared/remote/master || exit unset GIT_DIR git checkout -- . git pull --rebase origin There may be better ways (post-receive, more robust script). It was set up almost a decade ago now :-) K
