After trying to bisect this using `bisect start; bisect good v1.5.1; git bisect bad HEAD; git bisect run ..test.sh`: ---test.sh--- #!/bin/sh make clean make || return 125 GIT=$(pwd)/git cd /tmp rm -rf testrepo mkdir testrepo cd testrepo $GIT init echo test > test.txt $GIT add test.txt $GIT commit -m "Add test.txt" $GIT bundle create ../testrepo.bundle master || return 125 cd .. rm -rf testrepofrombundle $GIT clone testrepo.bundle testrepofrombundle || return 1 --- I was unable to find a bad revision. After a lot more searching I found that I had `git` aliased to `hub`, a tool used to make Github actions easier. Eliminating `hub` from the equation resolved most problems. The only ones remaining are the confusing error message from `git bundle create` and the "missing HEAD" (you can interpret that in different ways) ;-) P.S. I hereby promise to _never_ _ever_ alias `git` to something else and then post a Git bug about that "something else" on this ML.
