When you clone with -l, git uses cpio to hardlink to the original repository. What has changed is that -l is now used by default when cloning a repository that's accessed via the file system (as opposed to over some network protocol). To work around this, specify the repository location with file://, and git won't try to hardlink (and hence won't try to use cpio). -- Karl Hasselström, kha@xxxxxxxxxxx www.treskal.com/kalle - 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
