After the initial commit (c0fa1db09bad112f7271378d907bf33d74c06f6b) I published it to my git space on our development server and cloned it out again (to get the nifty remotes things set up for free). Then I noticed I had rushed it, as I usually do with hacks involving a total of less than 200 lines of code, so I had to make a couple of more commits to make it work. After having pushed the fixes to the public site I went to have a look at it in gitweb, at https://devel.op5.se/~exon/git/ I was quite surprised to find that 'master' was still pointing to the root commit. After the usual culprits were excluded (permissions, bad paths, whatnot), I decided to try to clone the repo again to a different location. Here's what happened: devel!exon:~$ git clone softpub/mkpub.git/ mkpub remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 17 objects. remote: Deltifying 17 objects. remote: 100% (17/17) done Indexing 17 objects. remote: Total 17 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0) 100% (17/17) done Resolving 3 deltas. devel!exon:~$ cat softpub/mkpub.git/refs/heads/master c0fa1db09bad112f7271378d907bf33d74c06f6b devel!exon:~$ cat mkpub/.git/refs/heads/master 5ba01a4709bcc8b482b207ba91d78ddb689a4091 devel!exon:~$ cd mkpub/ devel!exon:~/mkpub$ git push Everything up-to-date devel!exon:~/mkpub$ git rev-list master 5ba01a4709bcc8b482b207ba91d78ddb689a4091 e6a80831737517aa7ef29628429a18935b71de1d 8926e1519f69d95685ab5252886e7b237e21108e c0bfedaf572ee550af7927acb89a1a2e01c1ef2c c0fa1db09bad112f7271378d907bf33d74c06f6b devel!exon:~/mkpub$ GIT_DIR=../softpub/mkpub.git/ git rev-list master c0fa1db09bad112f7271378d907bf33d74c06f6b (yes, the repo only has 4 commits) And that's where I am now. Note that *cloning* from the repo actually works, although I can't for the life of me figure out why. Any thoughts? -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se
