Thanks, Uwe. Good idea. On the client:
orf-01569049:/tmp sdavis$ git clone
http://sdavis@watson.nci.nih.gov/git/sean_git.git/
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/sean_git/.git/
cat: /tmp/sean_git/.git/refs/remotes/origin/master: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/git-clone: line 4: cd:
/tmp/sean_git/.git/refs/remotes/origin: No such file or directory
fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD
Nothing in the error_log on apache. Why would git be looking for a
remotes origin since I am cloning from a remote source?
Sean
