Yeah this fixes the issue for me. If I add this static int add_refs_from_alternate(struct alternate_object_database *e, void *unused) { + fprintf(stderr, "add: %s\n", e->base); char *other = xstrdup(make_absolute_path(e->base)); size_t len = strlen(other); and prepare_alt_odb(); for (ent = alt_odb_list; ent; ent = ent->next) { fprintf(stderr, "for: %s\n", ent->name); if (fn(ent, cb)) return; then i get for: in//usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr/loca add: /tmp/a/1/.git/objects/in//usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr/loca fatal: Could not switch to '/tmp/a/1/.git/objects/in//usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr' fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly -- Mikael Magnusson -- 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
