Error on git clone

Error on git clone

[Hocapito Cheteamo]

Hi,

I'm a newbie on using git. I installed Git 1.7.0.2 on my PC laptop running 
Windows XP Prof. SP 2.  When I run the command,
    "git clone git@github.com:......git sss", 
I got these log messages:

Initialized empty Git repository in c:/...../.git/
Enter passphrase for key 'C:\.....\privateKey':
remote: Counting objects: 478, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (303/303), done.
remote: Total 478 (delta 21), reused 436 (delta 3)

Resolving deltas: 100% (21/21), done.
tagging': Invalid argumenttory at 'public/images/tagging

Does anyone have any clue on what this "Invalid argumenttory" error is all 
about?  It did not finish unpacking all the files in folder sss.  It aborted 
after this error.  Thanks so much for the help.

Hoca.

You didn't show the command that you used.

The error is "Invalid argument" and was printed over a line that said
something about a "repository". Can you reproduce the problem?

Hi Hannes,

I could consistently reproduce the problem.  The command that I used is:
    git clone -v git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git sss
where XXX & YYY are replaced with the actual data.

The additional log messages from -v option do not help much.  (See below)

To prevent the print over of the log messages, do you think I could use
1. any other option on git clone;
2. redirect the log messages to a file; or 
3. pipe them into a tee command?

Or do you have any suggestion on how to prevent the print over of the log 
messages?

Thanks so much again.
Hoca

Just to make sure: This is with "Git for Windows", not Cygwin's git?

Do the clone in separate the steps:

mkdir sss
cd sss
git remote add origin git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git
git fetch
git checkout -b master origin/master

Do you see any errors?

Re: Error on git clone

[Hocapito Cheteamo]

Yes, this is with "Git for Windows" (a Git Bash Shell window).

So I did what you suggested:

mkdir sss3
cd sss3
git remote add origin git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git

Then an error occurs:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
Hoca

Or you can of course run 'git init' here.

Re: Error on git clone

[Hocapito Cheteamo]

Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier who reminded me to do a 'git init' to get rid of that 
"Not a git repository' error.  So I did:

$ mkdir sss3
$ cd sss3
$ git init
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git
$ git fetch
Enter passphrase for key 'C:\.....\privateKey':

 * [new branch]      master     -> origin/master
$ git checkout -b master origin/master

tagging': Invalid argumenttory at 'public/images/tagging

I'm still getting the same print over error messages. Thanks for any help that 
might help me to resolve this perplexing problem.

Ok, download works as expected. You don't have to repeat these steps
anymore. Keep a copy of sss3\.git around so that you can go back to this
state when necessary.

The error message is this one:

cannot create directory at '%s'

Do you have a file/directory with a CR in it? When you run this:

 git -p ls-tree -r origin/master

and look for public/images, do you see this:

"public/images/tagging\rtagging"

(including the double-quotes)? If so, ask your upstream to fix the
repository; you can't checkout the data as is on Windows.

Alternatively, you could use a sparse checkout that excludes the
questionable file. Read "Sparse checkout" in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-read-tree.html

Re: Error on git clone

[Hocapito Cheteamo]

Hi Hannes,

As you have expected, when I run that command,
    git -p ls-tree -r origin/master > lll.txt
and redirect it to a log file, the log file does show some lines that have:
    "public/images/tagging\rtagging/title_add_tags_to.png"

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for helping me in resolving the problem that I have 
encountered with the git clone command on my PC Windows XP system.  I'll 
definitely ask my upstream to fix the
repository on that 'CR'.  I'll also take a look at that "sparse checkout" that 
you have mentioned.

Again, a big thank you for solving this perplexing problem, especially with the 
print over log messages.  You rock!!!
Hoca
