I create the initial repository with

     git-clone /<full-path>/<name>.git/ <folder>

That works fine, but then I can't fetch. git-fetch gives the error
"fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive"
"fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"

P.
Are you trying to clone a bare repository?
Or is your repo maybe at /<full-path>/<name> with a .git subdir?
Yes, a bare repository.
Then, maybe the full list of command lines (including cd and git-fetch)
would be helpful in order to track this down.
Ok, sorry, thought it was probable something really obvious. Here's the
sequence (using git version 1.5.4).

$ git-clone /big/git/paul.git/ epage
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/paul/epage/.git/
719749 bolcks

Something tells me that this is not a copy/paste ;-)

Let's just hope that's not units of boelkstoff ;)

$ cd epage
$ git-fetch
fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Is there a "[remote "origin"]" section in .git/config? What Git version is this, anyway?

1.5.4

Could git trip over that trailing slash? git 1.5.5.1 certainly doesn't.

BTW: The above shows something that confused me initially about cloning: git reports the creation of an empty repo, nothing else. But it does much more, of course, just without reporting.
