Subject: 1.5.6.5 fails to clone git.kernel.org/[...]/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:24:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LLAn5-0001JM-00@alva.home> (raw)
I have git 1.5.6.5 installed from the Debian/lenny package.
Poking around in http://git.kernel.org/ looking for a git repository
that might have the latest -rt development happening, I found
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git
which looked promising.
But when I tried cloning it using:
git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git linux-2.6-rt
it pulled several hundred megabytes through my (rather slow) DSL line
and then printed out
error: Trying to write ref refs/tags/v2.6.11 with nonexistant object 5dc01c595e6c6ec9ccda4f6f69c131c0dd945f8c
fatal: Cannot update the ref 'refs/tags/v2.6.11'.
and then removed everything it had just pulled.
Looking at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git;a=tags
I see that apparently v2.6.11 and v.2.6.11-tree both point at a tree
object and not a commit.
Is this a bug in git? (Even if there is something wrong with the
git repository I was trying to clone, the fact that it removed all the
work that took a long time to pull is annoying.)
Is this problem already fixed in some newer version of git?
