Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) (repo7 and repo8 should behave similar to repo5 and repo6, i.e. setup ".git/objects/info/alternates" && copy/get_pack_of objects;) (repo7 and repo8 shouldn't: forget to copy/get_pack_of objects.) (The problem only surfaces after "./client/mirror.git/" is removed: repo7 and repo8 should have the original objects (so git log shouldn't give error) but they don't have.) cd '/'; cd '/'; rm --force --recursive -- './test_git'; mkdir "$_"; cd "$_"; mkdir --parents -- './server' './client'; git -C './server' init --bare './repo.git' git --git-dir='./server/repo.git' --work-tree='.' commit --allow-empty -m "$((++number))" find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --shared '../server/repo.git' './repo1' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --shared --local '../server/repo.git' './repo2' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --shared --no-local '../server/repo.git' './repo3' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --shared 'file://'"$(realpath './server/repo.git')" './repo4' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' cp --recursive --no-target-directory -- './server/repo.git' './client/mirror.git/' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' '../server/repo.git' './repo5' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' --local '../server/repo.git' './repo6' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' --no-local '../server/repo.git' './repo7' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' 'file://'"$(realpath './server/repo.git')" './repo8' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' --dissociate '../server/repo.git' './repo9' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' --dissociate --local '../server/repo.git' './repo10' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' --dissociate --no-local '../server/repo.git' './repo11' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' git -C './client' clone --reference='./mirror.git' --dissociate 'file://'"$(realpath './server/repo.git')" './repo12' find './server/repo.git/objects' -printf '%p %n\n' tree './client/repo1/.git/objects' tree './client/repo2/.git/objects' tree './client/repo3/.git/objects' tree './client/repo4/.git/objects' tree './client/repo5/.git/objects' tree './client/repo6/.git/objects' tree './client/repo7/.git/objects' tree './client/repo8/.git/objects' tree './client/repo9/.git/objects' tree './client/repo10/.git/objects' tree './client/repo11/.git/objects' tree './client/repo12/.git/objects' git -C './client/repo1' log git -C './client/repo2' log git -C './client/repo3' log git -C './client/repo4' log git -C './client/repo5' log git -C './client/repo6' log git -C './client/repo7' log git -C './client/repo8' log git -C './client/repo9' log git -C './client/repo10' log git -C './client/repo11' log git -C './client/repo12' log git -C './server/repo.git' cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects git --git-dir='./server/repo.git' --work-tree='.' commit --amend --allow-empty -m "$((++number))" git -C './server/repo.git' cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects git -C './server/repo.git' -c 'gc.pruneExpire=now' -c 'gc.reflogExpireUnreachable=now' gc git -C './server/repo.git' cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects git -C './client/repo1' log git -C './client/repo2' log git -C './client/repo3' log git -C './client/repo4' log git -C './client/repo5' log git -C './client/repo6' log git -C './client/repo7' log git -C './client/repo8' log git -C './client/repo9' log git -C './client/repo10' log git -C './client/repo11' log git -C './client/repo12' log rm --force --recursive -- './client/mirror.git/' cp --recursive --no-target-directory -- './server/repo.git' './client/mirror.git/' git -C './client/repo1' log git -C './client/repo2' log git -C './client/repo3' log git -C './client/repo4' log git -C './client/repo5' log git -C './client/repo6' log git -C './client/repo7' log git -C './client/repo8' log git -C './client/repo9' log git -C './client/repo10' log git -C './client/repo11' log git -C './client/repo12' log rm --force --recursive -- './client/mirror.git/' git -C './client/repo1' log git -C './client/repo2' log git -C './client/repo3' log git -C './client/repo4' log git -C './client/repo5' log git -C './client/repo6' log git -C './client/repo7' log git -C './client/repo8' log git -C './client/repo9' log git -C './client/repo10' log git -C './client/repo11' log git -C './client/repo12' log What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) repo7 and repo8 should behave similar to repo5 and repo6, i.e. setup ".git/objects/info/alternates" && copy/get_pack_of objects; repo7 and repo8 shouldn't: forget to copy/get_pack_of objects. The problem only surfaces after "./client/mirror.git/" is removed: repo7 and repo8 should have the original objects (so git log shouldn't give error) but they don't have. BTW, --shared (setup ".git/objects/info/alternates") / --local (hard_link) / --no-hardlinks (copy) / --no-local (use the regular Git transport, gives a pack) should be mutually exclusive. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Anything else you want to add: Please review the rest of the bug report below.
