Read-only Cloning Worg Error

Read-only Cloning Worg Error

[Nathan Neff]

I'd like to keep up with Worg's status and went to clone the Git repo,
per the instructions here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/worg-git.html

The instructions say to clone http://repo.or.cz/r/Worg.git

(I think it's supposed to be http://repo.or.cz./w/Worg.git)

So I ran

git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/Worg.git

And I get a warning:

warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

Anyway, I was able to successfully clone Worg using this:

git clone git+ssh://<my username>@repo.or.cz/srv/git/Worg.git

While correct, unless you are forced to use HTTP due to a paranoid
firewall, it would actually be better to clone from:

git://repo.or.cz/Worg.git

You'll transfer a lot less data when using the git protocol.

No, that URL is for the web interface.

That usually happens if the access rights are such that you can't read
one of the files that are referred to.  But in your case you simply try
to get the files from the wrong place and git just cannot find them
there.

I never use this for read access, only for push.
