Wrong git URL on website

[Guillaume Smet <gu...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

In http://wicket.apache.org/contribute/build.html, the URL used for
the git clone is now a redirect to a gitweb instance:
$ git clone http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket.git
redirects to:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=wicket.git
which isn't a valid git repository.

After some digging on the Apache website, it looks like
http://git.apache.org/wicket.git/ is a valid url for cloning the
Wicket repository.

I'll take a look at the requests made by the connector with Wireshark
to see if we can make it work by tweaking the redirect.

"Checkout as Maven project" is a nice feature of Eclipse.

This is how my .git/config looks like:

[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
 url = http://mgrigorov@git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket.git

(Interesting - it is not http*s* and I can push!)

Be aware that GitHub mirror is few hours behind. I.e. you will not see the
changes immediately after push in Apache Git repo.

It doesn't work in Eclipse with Egit and the git Maven connector. Egit
throws an error complaining about a 302 Found when I try to checkout
the Maven projects.

That's how I got the error in the first place.

Might be an Egit problem or a Maven connector problem though.

I'm going to use the github mirror.

This is the correct one.
If you open it in the browser then it will redirect, but if you use any Git
client then it will work.
'http' is for read-only and 'https' is for write access.

This is a mirror from that days when Wicket was still using SVN.
It is also used by GitHub to mirror our project (
https://github.com/apache/wicket)
