Slow git fetch, pull and push on Ubuntu 10.04

With our recent attempt at migrating to git, a lot of issues were expected and this post documents one of them.

Some of our developers installed Ubuntu 10.04 and they are experiencing slow remote operation specifically git fetch, pull and push. I first suspected an error in the git server setup using indefero but the other users on Ubuntu 9.04 did not have this problem.

Investigating further, I found that using ssh to connect to the git server was also slow which could be the cause of the problem. To find out what happens during ssh connection I did:

InDefero with Git on CentOS

In my never ending quest to improve the development environment at the office, I started looking at DVCS(distributed version control systems) and was leaning towards migrating from subversion to Git. I started looking for an easy way of managing a Git repository and came across InDefero.

InDefero is both a code and project management system that is similar to GoogleCode.

This post documents what I did to setup InDefero on a fresh install of CentOS 5.4.
