git clone (1.5.3) with http is somewhat unreliable. I've noticed if can actually give me different versions of a branch each time I run it, eventually yielding the one I'm expecting. And now this: (Using master, just after rc7) $ git clone http://unix.schottelius.org/git/cLinux/cinit.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/me/tmp/cinit/.git/ got c56b79346e5058762db82cb98647628ddf3d6ebd walk c56b79346e5058762db82cb98647628ddf3d6ebd got c0d6c3ae3b4999892d7cbc22fd719c0e9797be59 got 73dc306099bdb21abf22e4a015d3059e8577bb49 got 6943289356f8431073cb8c7708bb7c9c05888333 walk 6943289356f8431073cb8c7708bb7c9c05888333 Getting alternates list for http://unix.schottelius.org/git/cLinux/cinit.git got 3912109b5cd65a68039d473c11c9f7ac2303e06d got 0fbf76f58b248f6b11421db5aa9c02fe12b0ce7d Getting pack list for http://unix.schottelius.org/git/cLinux/cinit.git got 3ac57ee54f4c4e350622888c4e37213a7d2337b7 got a170a50db31947dfae0b27d5dd8bb54b5ac97b20 got 00f2651b7c63c56fda93d2f94cc2a2b7c28ac86b Getting index for pack 119f90491743d6454866ba8761f49757e359cec1 got eec4105805e9f57b27158f847c9ce1b2b6eb40c7 got 8a686b4ae9cbb91a74ff71984baee0c944950c05 Getting index for pack 22000d3bf6fc9fdf439f63c8b33817f5786298f6 got dc4d9d9a69310c7d4f8e1fdf6517c10e8c6ab227 Getting index for pack 41850f3f697748a77d37d4d210415031bc6c73c4 /usr/local/bin/git-clone: line 40: 14823 Segmenteringsfel git-http-fetch $v -a -w "$tname" "$sha1" "$1" It doesn't repeat itself, but I cannot clone because it always crashes.
