Subject: git-am: can't apply to an empty repository
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 16:24:27 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <500f3d130810080624g23b4ed1ckde5d63082dca9040@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
When trying to build a repository from mbox format patches I have the
following problem:
Creating a hypothetical mbox patch:
$ echo "From: imre deak <imre.deak@gmail.com>" > 1.patch
$ touch a
$ git diff --no-index /dev/null a >> 1.patch
$ cat 1.patch
From: imre deak <imre.deak@gmail.com>
diff --git a/a b/a
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
Apply it to a newly created repository:
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/imde/conv/git/.git/
$ git am 1.patch
fatal: HEAD: not a valid SHA1
fatal: bad revision 'HEAD'
Is this supposed to work at all?
