Hi Johannes, this patch doesn't quite make sense to me. The git-read-tree should be in the else block of the unless you have right there (and it's actually there, but it may be breaking in some cases? Perhaps should happen a bit earlier?). How do you expect to run git-read-tree or die _before_ git-init-db? cheers, martin - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
