I can't clone it, but 'git log' and 'git whatchanged' seems to work fine. Also, gitk dies with the following error: $ gitk Error in startup script: fatal: '.git': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: unexpected EOF Failed to find remote refs while executing "close $refd" (procedure "readrefs" line 41) invoked from within "readrefs" (file "/home/greg/bin/gitk" line 3744) Is this because I just synced the whole tree over using rsync and didn't use git to clone it a long time ago? Or that it was created with an older version of git? I'm not able to clone it locally either: $ git clone history.git/ test fatal: '/home/greg/linux/git/history.git/.git': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: unexpected EOF clone-pack from '/home/greg/linux/git/history.git/.git' failed. I don't know when this broke with git, as it's been a long time since I looked at this tree... thanks, greg k-h
