The title pretty much says it all:
I'm using Eclipse (Juno SR2) with the EGit plugin (2.2.0).
I have a remote repository set up using SSH, and because gitd is not setup on the remote, and because the git tools are not on the path, I have the the following settings in the config file:
[remote "origin"]
url = ssh://moi@fully.qualified.host/home/colleague/repo.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
uploadpack = ~colleague/bin/git-upload-pack
receivepack = ~colleague/bin/git-receive-pack
Doing a plain git push from the command line displays the server's security warning then prompts me for my ssh password, then pushes flawlessly.
However inside Eclipse, I get a popup with the server warning, then I am prompted for my password as before, all appears well, then the final confirmation with the list of commits pushed is empty with an error at the top of
ssh://moi@fully.qualified.host/home/colleague/repo.git: push not permitted
I'm inside a new branch that has not been pushed to the remote as yet, if that makes any difference.
Anyone seen this before?
For anyone that follows down the same rabbit hole after me...
I have found a workaround. You can't set the location of the receive and upload packs in the repository config, so this has to be removed from your config:
[remote "origin"]
receivepack = /blah/bin/git-receive-pack
uploadpack = /blah/bin/git-upload-pack
I'm using the Bash shell remotely, and at the start of .bashrc before it exits when the shell is non-interactive, the location gets added to the path like so:
# If not running interactively, most of what follows is not worth doing
if [ -z "$PS1" ] ; then
# Make sure my extra stuff is on the path even in non-intaractive shells (I'm looking at you SSH!)
export PATH=/blah/bin:$PATH
return
fi
I can now push from either the local command line or via Eclipse/EGit. But of course I have reduced the security of my non-interactive shells as a compromise.
