cannot execute: git-upload-pack

[flooose]

Hi! I'm getting a TransportException with the message "cannot execute: git-upload-pack". I get this right at the very beginning while trying to set up ssh access to my server. Here's the stacktrace:

I've cloned the project and verified that this error is happening on the master branch as well. Let me know how I can help get this fixed.

I've got it fixed. I just saw that my server didn't have git installed. Would you consider a pull request to give a more informative error message. I was under the impression that the command git-upload-pack was expected to be found on my android device.

Yes, sure !
From what I can see you managed to build the project. Did you had any issue
for this or was it straightforward ?

Very straight forward! I followed the instructions and everything worked out of the box. Thanks for the hard work on this.
