Expect issues with gopkg.in

[pavel-odintsov]

Hello, folks!

I'm using your project and everything working well. I working from MacOS, CentOS 7 and everything goes smoothy.

But from one server with CentOS 6 I expected so huge issues:

git clone -v https://gopkg.in/tomb.v2
Initialized empty Git repository in /root/tomb.v2/.git/
......

And process hangs.

I have traced it with strace:

strace -f -etrace=connect git clone -v https://gopkg.in/tomb.v2
Initialized empty Git repository in /root/tomb.v2/.git/
Process 166342 attached

So as you can see we have issues with Git itself.

I have checked another server from another network with CentOS 6 and same Git tool version and got same issues:

git clone https://gopkg.in/tomb.v2
Initialized empty Git repository in /root/tomb.v2/.git/
....
it hangs too

Could you test it and fix? I could offer any debug details.

That's caused by a version of git that is too old (as in 5+ years old).

Can you please update it and try again?

[pavel-odintsov]

So I have used this Git version:

git --version
git version 1.7.1

So CentOS 6 is supported by Go language and I could not upgrade git without breaking rpm system.

Do you have any options to fix this bug? What wrong with Git 1.7 ?

[niemeyer]

Version 1.7.1 lacks the change done in https://github.com/git/git/commit/d3334d9c444a22847e7add0f60c2e4a7243c151e which was released in git 1.7.3.4 in 2010.

Thanks for detailed answer!

I have used this manual http://tecadmin.net/how-to-upgrade-git-version-1-7-10-on-centos-6/ and upgraded to next version:

git --version
git version 1.7.12.4

So everything works pretty well.
