Shouldn't git clone bring in .git/HEAD for rsync:// URLs? As it is, we end up with HEAD pointing to refs/master, which might simply not be there. For git:// we get .git/HEAD same as in remote repository, so behaviour for rsync:// probably should be the same... Looks like a missing rsync in git-clone, around rsync://*) rsync $quiet -av --ignore-existing \ --exclude info "$repo/objects/" "$GIT_DIR/objects/" && rsync $quiet -av --ignore-existing \ --exclude info "$repo/refs/" "$GIT_DIR/refs/" || exit Comments? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
