How do I clone over HTTP a repository that has no info/refs?
- by gbacon
Given a repository served over HTTP whose owner forgot to chmod +x hooks/post-update, is there a workaround for cloning it?
I tried running wget --mirror url, but rather than fetching the subtree only, it tried to mirror the entire site—which I assume happened due to the parent-directory links in the autogenerated index.html resources.
