Symptoms

When trying to export one file from repository by using the command below, there is an error.:

git archive --remote=http://user@stash/scm/project/repo.git HEAD:file.txt
fatal: Operation not supported by protocol.

Cause

The "archive" option is disabled on the Git repository that you're trying to fetch the file. 

Resolution

 

In order to enable it for a repository in Stash, you should:

  • Issue the commands:

$ cd <directory_found_through_sys_info>
$ git config daemon.uploadarch true
$ cat config
....
[daemon]
        uploadarch = true
