The git package has a defect. Git malfunctions if current working directory is a remote share.
The error happens regardless of whether the remote share is a: a) UNC path or b) mapped drive or c) MKLINK link to the local c: drive. Can anyone confirm or deny this error? Recipe to Reproduce ------------------- 1) Install http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/msys2-x86_64-latest.exe, update, install git package. 2) Test git where current working directory is a remote share. In this example, current working directory is m: drive mapped to remote share. gdb@win57 MSYS /m/pkg/tools % git clone https://github.com/d5884/dot-emacs.git Cloning into 'dot-emacs'... remote: Counting objects: 897, done. remote: Total 897 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 897 Receiving objects: 100% (897/897), 276.45 KiB | 64.00 KiB/s, done.
