Hi,

This appears to be a path issue as bash is not able to find git-upload-pack as indicated in the error above. It may be a issue with your git installation.

Further investigation may require us to take a closer look at your account.

Could you please file a support ticket for it so that we can take a better look and help you in a better way?

This error usually indicates that the path to git is not present in your ~/.bashrc file's PATH variable. This is discussed in our documentation on Cloning a Repository:

http://docs.webfaction.com/software/git.html#cloning-a-repository

Specifically, something like this is usually necessary to clone over SSH:

1	echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/webapps/app/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

Edit: now that git is deployed to all servers, this should no longer be necessary. It used to be needed back when the git installer would actually compile and install git rather than just gitweb and repositories.
