I have git 1.5.6.5 installed from the Debian/lenny package. Poking around in http://git.kernel.org/ looking for a git repository that might have the latest -rt development happening, I found http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git which looked promising. But when I tried cloning it using: git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git linux-2.6-rt it pulled several hundred megabytes through my (rather slow) DSL line and then printed out error: Trying to write ref refs/tags/v2.6.11 with nonexistant object 5dc01c595e6c6ec9ccda4f6f69c131c0dd945f8c fatal: Cannot update the ref 'refs/tags/v2.6.11'. and then removed everything it had just pulled. Looking at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-rt.git;a=tags I see that apparently v2.6.11 and v.2.6.11-tree both point at a tree object and not a commit. Is this a bug in git? (Even if there is something wrong with the git repository I was trying to clone, the fact that it removed all the work that took a long time to pull is annoying.) Is this problem already fixed in some newer version of git? -Tim Shepard shep@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
