The current code fixes the path to make it absolute when cloning, but doesn't consider tilde expansion, so that scenario fails throwing an exception because /home/myuser/~/my/repository doesn't exists: $ git clone hg::~/my/repository && cd repository && git fetch Expand the tilde when checking if the path is absolute, so that we don't fix a path that doesn't need to be.

(s/~/$HOME/) I'm not sure what you mean here. Does it mean that I should stop cloning using "~" ? I also send this patch as I think it makes more sense to keep the ~ in the path, but just make sure we don't build invalid absolute path. By the way, I don't exactly understand why: abs_url = urlparse.urljoin("%s/" % os.getcwd(), orig_url) is done right after instead of: abs_url = os.path.abspath(orig_url) Cheers, Antoine contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg b/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg index 1897327..861c498 100755 --- a/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg +++ b/contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg @@ -1135,7 +1135,7 @@ def do_option(parser): def fix_path(alias, repo, orig_url): url = urlparse.urlparse(orig_url, 'file') - if url.scheme != 'file' or os.path.isabs(url.path): + if url.scheme != 'file' or os.path.isabs(os.path.expanduser(url.path)): return abs_url = urlparse.urljoin("%s/" % os.getcwd(), orig_url) cmd = ['git', 'config', 'remote.%s.url' % alias, "hg::%s" % abs_url] -- 1.7.9.5 -- 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
