1. I would like to move my repository (including all branches) from directory A to a directory B on a different filesystem. Can I use git-clone for this? It seems that git-clone creates remote-tracking branches, but I want to keep all of the branches as local branches so I can remove the original repository.
Just copy it.
2. I can't just move the entire directory A, because I get Error in startup script: error: object directory A/../A-cvs-git/.git/objects does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates
... but fix that .git/objects/info/alternates files in the repos left to point to the new location of the moved directory.
I think I originally created the repository by cloning from my A-cvs-git/ directory with git-clone --shared, but I don't quite remember. So I suppose I want a way to stop using the alternates mechanism and make my repository self-contained in one directory. Is this possible?
git repack -f, and remove the alternates, probably. Otherwise you can just copy .git/objects directory into all related repos, remove alternates there and you're free.
Will I then be free to move the directory?
