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/

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.
The documentation suggests having the trailing slash, and I think I
tried without, but I'll try again just in case.
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.
Oh yeah, I realise the fetch is already done by the clone, and that
git-fetch wouldn't bring anything new in right after the clone, but
there are other pushers for that repo.
P.
