Actual Results:  
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /gitroot/proj/portage.git/ on this server.

Content of portage git repository.

git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git works.
Comment 1 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-04-16 15:43:12 UTC 
Of course it will be 403 forbidden. You are not suppose to view that over the web.

The gitweb view is here: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=summary

The real error is this:
%% git clone http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitroot/proj/portage.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/.git/
fatal: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitroot/proj/portage.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
Comment 2 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-05-18 21:23:48 UTC 
It works now, not sure what changed.
