Howdy,
I'm trying to clone a remote repository. Here's the background:
- The repository is bare, under Bob's home directory on a remote Sun system.
- Bob has set the group permissions for the repo directory to repogroup.
- I have an account on the remote system that is in repogroup.
I am trying to clone the repo on my home machine, using
> git clone ssh://john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/home/bob/path/to/repo
It fails with
remote: fatal: Could not get the current working directory
error: git-upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
fatal: git-upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption
on the remote side.
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
Checking the source code, this error is triggered after getcwd() returns
a null pointer in setup.c:set_work_tree(), which is called at only one
place, in setup.c:setup_git_directory_gently().
Can anyone provide any insight as to why am I seeing this error?
Thank you,
John
