Subject: cloning a tree which has detached branch checked out
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 09:06:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120207070628.GA24698@redhat.com> (raw)
I have a tree where I checked out a remote, without
creating a local branch, this detaches the HEAD:
# git branch
* (no branch)
master
#git log|head -1
commit cec64082f689f949a397cb9b39423dc41545fa0e
#git log master..HEAD|head -1
commit cec64082f689f949a397cb9b39423dc41545fa0e
Now if I try to clone it:
#git clone -n lab:/home/mst/scm/linux
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/mst/scm/linux/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 1693446, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (277054/277054), done.
Receiving objects: 100% (1693446/1693446), 418.16 MiB | 7.63 MiB/s,
done.

Resolving deltas: 100% (1414353/1414353), done.
error: Trying to write ref HEAD with nonexistant object
cec64082f689f949a397cb9b39423dc41545fa0e
fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'.
Looks like a bug, doesn't it?
