Sylvain,

I first pushed your little example (dir containing only README),
and that worked.  Then I went to my "master" coreutils git tree
and pushed it. (I had to use --force, due to the prior push).
It appeared to do something useful, in that it transferred lots
of data, but I'm not sure about the error at the end:

  $ git push --force address@hidden:/srv/git/sources/coreutils.git 
master:refs/heads/master
  updating 'refs/heads/master'

But now, gitweb still shows only the test directory.

  http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=summary

And a clone:

    git-clone -n git://cvs.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/sources/coreutils.git

gets only the tiny test directory, not the 50+MB repo I uploaded.

Does this require manual intervention?
