Hi, I can no longer clone my git repository from v1.7 client, i get error: Trying to write ref refs/heads/master with nonexistant object. It is a remote repo that im using ssh to connect to, and i have done everything i can find on google from creating a new master branch, cleaning up the repo, removing dangling bits etc. etc. So far I have come to the conclusion that while creating a tag on my v1.8 client in windows, something has happened which has stopped the repo from being compatible with v1.7 (as i am still able to clone it with 1.8). The full message when trying to clone is: Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jthompso/Downloads/mtsd/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 2464, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (905/905), done. remote: Total 2464 (delta 1201), reused 2446 (delta 1186) Receiving objects: 100% (2464/2464), 652.66 KiB, done.
