No need to be sorry. Thanks for raising the issue up. I think I have one possible explanation. When "git clone" was rewritten in C some time ago, it started to dereference symlinks, and newer git would dereference /pub -> /home/ftp/pub when you do: git clone -s --bare /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6/ linux-2.6.2x.y while the scripted version used to keep /pub/scm path. A bit further digging is necessary to make sure if we can fix this easily, but I suspect this is worth fixing. -- 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
