Sorry, I should of course have posted the output in the first place: ==> Initialized empty Git repository in /home/username/lilypond/.git/ >From git://repo.or.cz/lilypond * [new branch] master -> origin/master warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born. warning: Forcing checkout of origin/master. Already on "master" Branch master set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/master. <== So it doesn't give an error, just a warning. But AFAIR I have seen this warning on my non-GUI-based checkouts, too, even though everything worked fine. BTW, my git version is 1.6.0.4 (the latest one that Ubuntu 9.04 has to offer). > So I would like to ask you two things: first, what was the error message > (there must have been one), and second: could you change the > > git checkout -b master origin/master > > to > > git reset --hard origin/master > git config branch.master.remote origin > git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master > > ? Still no luck. :-( The warning is gone, but the result is as before (directory is empty, 'git status' reports deleted files). Here is the output of the new script: ==> Initialized empty Git repository in /home/username/lilypond/.git/ >From git://repo.or.cz/lilypond * [new branch] master -> origin/master HEAD is now at 00c6cac Nitpick: ly:spanner-bound grob name slur -> spanner. <== Thanks for your help, Max P.S.: It would be nice to let the script print a short message when it's finished so that the user know when to stop waiting. ;-) _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
