fatal: Not a git repository

[Douglas Royds]

Anyone else getting this?

    NOTE: Handling BitBake files: / (6587/6587) [100 %]
    NOTE: Parsing finished. 6302 cached, 0 parsed, 285 skipped, 0 masked.
    NOTE: Cache is clean, not saving.

    OE Build Configuration:

    ...

The same complaint seems to crop up at various points during a build, as 
well.

Suggestions?
Douglas.

Yes, it happens on every build.  I guess bitbake is testing the current 
directory via git and would include the current head in the build number.

Just ignore.  Besides called "fatal" it isn't fatal at all.

Well, to git it's fatal :)  Someone should dig to where the call is and
redirect stderr somewhere, I suspect..

This silences it, though I'm not sure that it's the right solution:

Maybe it should test whether
os.path.join(base_get_scmbasepath(d),'.git') exists before calling out
to git?

Yes, I see that as well.  Of course, since I -- at the time -- was
building from a snapshot and not the original git repo, and the build
results seemed quite normal, I gave it no further thought.

I guess I'm not sure that I am the intended addressee.  Can you tell me
if you did, in fact, intend to send the original email to me, in the
legal sense of the definition of "intended addressee"?

In any case, please inform your legal department that I do not accept
apologies from lawyers, and that this email constitutes my notification
of that to your lawyers, that I have deleted all copies -- at least
those copies that _I_ possess; the email notice is rather vague as to
whether I am required to track down all copies that might exist in the
world today -- and I also shall perform no other act on the email.

- Mike (mwester)

P.S.  Neither can I warrant that my response to this email has not been
altered or corrupted during transmission.  And I'll go one better than
your lawyers, and note that you'll never know if my original email was
full of typos -- and that it was actually *corrected* during
transmission.  Poor lawyers...  that sort of disclaimer rather makes the
entire footnote they added there completely ridiculous and pointless,
doesn't it??!

I have this too.

I think we should add some parameter to conf-files which allows to point 
where is git repository located.

This is useful when publishing build stats to tinderbox.

fatal: Not a git repository

[T]

I am on RedHat Linux Server 5.7, installed git and all worked great.

Performed a "git add ." and sat back and watched it chew up GB fo data and create the .git repository, which I was going to study.  But then I decided to delete the .git repository before the commit, and redo the work after I added additional files to the filesystem.

The git application no longer works.  I have done a complete deletion of all files that I know of and a complete reinstallation and yet every time that I attempt to get git to reread the directory and recreate the repository or ANY repository on the system even while root the error message is:



[root@localhost wizdom]# git add .
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git




Any idea on how to fix this problem so that I can get on with using git?

Wizdom is a dir of management information systems related files, 29.4GB in size, containing 264380 files, for systems administration and when git had complete the add command it had create a dir /home/Object/wizdon/.git that was 26.1GB in size and with 212774 files in 256 sub-folders.

Just to see what it would do, or what it does, I ran git against my systems administration collection called wizdom on a Dell T-410 with one socket in use.


[root@localhost git-1.7.7]# git --version
