I was trying to clone a bare repository. Not sure why I did, maybe description on website was wrong. My try: git --bare clone https://github..... This was leading in creating a none bare repository! No error or warning message here! I guess this behavior is also for other --xxx commands. -- 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
