Is there a problem with the wine git? I use git regularly on the linux kernel git, so I think I have a working version. As below, it is 1.7.1. Below is result of git clone: $ git clone -v git://source.winehq.org/git/wine-git wine-git Initialized empty Git repository in /weep/wine/wine-git/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly $ git --version git version 1.7.1 My motivation is USB access from wine: if there is an easier way than checking out from git and patching, please let me know.
