Yup, that is exactly why I said I am not surprised. I do not think profile build is prepared to be run without having our history (after all, it is not test_perf_create_REPO_from, not test_perf_create_source_directory_of_git_from). It wants to create a repository that hosts a reasonably sized but not too big a project, i.e. us. The safest and cleanest fix would be to make sure that the said function checks if $source/.git is a repository, perhaps? -- 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
