Move repository from OS X to Windows

Move repository from OS X to Windows

[Thomas Singer]

Hi,

I've cloned a very large repository on OS X and want to move that to Windows
(trying to avoid to clone the repository a second time). What steps should I
do to make it working (currently, I'm getting an error on pull/merge that
"Entry 'foo' is not uptodate. Cannot merge.")?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Is that a git-svn clone?

Otherwise I do not see why you avoid a second clone. Cloning from your 
windows machine the OSX repo won't be slower than cloning from the 
original repo? Or I missed something...

If you are speaking about a git-svn clone, I understand. In this case I 
generally I just rsync the .git directory from one machine to the other:

    $ mkdir project
    $ cd project
    $ rsync -a machine:/path/to/project/.git .
    $ git reset --hard HEAD

And you are done.

Pascal.

Check the git documentation for "core.filemode" and "core.autocrlf".

My guess is that you need to set core.filemode false.
If it's not that then look into core.autocrlf.


Good luck,
