Hi, I cannot checkout from a cloned git repository I have created. I am using git 0.99.5 from Gentoo portage.
Following the tutorial, I create new git repository: $ mkdir git-test $ cd git-test/ $ git-init-db defaulting to local storage area $ echo "Hello, Git" > hello $ git-update-cache --add hello $ git-write-tree 4bd2134df7a908d2764f70d155e32650954cfc72 $ echo "Initial commit" | git-commit-tree 4bd2134df7a908d2764f70d155e32650954cfc72 > .git/HEAD Committing initial tree 4bd2134df7a908d2764f70d155e32650954cfc72 Now on the server, I create a repository: $ mkdir git-test.git GIT_DIR=git-test.git/ git-init-db Then I push my local repository to remote server like this: $ git push ssh.remote.server:/home/penberg/public_html/git-test.git master Password: updating 'refs/heads/master' from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 8744316e49411509ba28e9cf567f3aec5833ec74 Packing 3 objects Unpacking 3 objects 100% (3/3) done refs/heads/master: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -> 8744316e49411509ba28e9cf567f3aec5833ec74 After which I clone the newly created repository like this: $ git clone http://www.remote.server/~penberg/git-test.git cloned defaulting to local storage area Somebody should define smarter http server protocol Now, the problem is that checkout does not work: $ git checkout usage: git-read-tree (<sha> | -m [-u] <sha1> [<sha2> [<sha3>]]) That's because I have no HEAD: $ ls -l .git/HEAD lrwxrwxrwx 1 penberg users 17 Sep 2 14:07 .git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master $ ls -l .git/refs/heads/ total 0 What am I doing wrong here? Doing a git pull causes the following error: $ git pull http://www.remote.server/~penberg/git-test.git Fetching HEAD from http://www.remote.server/~penberg/git-test.git using http got 8744316e49411509ba28e9cf567f3aec5833ec74 got 4bd2134df7a908d2764f70d155e32650954cfc72 got b7aec520dec0a7516c18eb4c68b64ae1eb9b5a5e * committish: 8744316e49411509ba28e9cf567f3aec5833ec74 HEAD from http://www.remote.server/~penberg/git-test.git cat: .git/HEAD: No such file or directory fatal: Needed a single revision git-resolve-script <head> <remote> <merge-message> Pekka - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
