What is the output of “gtar --version”? Does this problem still occur if you try again? If you run the command above by hand, does it produce the same result? I checked https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for known problems but did not find anything similar. If this problem proves reproducible, I would suggest reporting it with them. In the mean time, you can use git without installing it by adding /home/e477610/exptool/share/git-core/bin-wrappers to your $PATH. :) Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
