There is a mechanism in place to handle empty repositories by checking if a repository is empty using the `repoIsEmpty` function in the `GitcliCloner` struct. This function attempts to run the `git log` command, and if the repository is empty, it logs a warning and returns `true`, indicating that the repository is empty <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/tasks/repo_collector.go)</sup><sup>[[2]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/parser/clone_gitcli.go)</sup>. However, it seems that this mechanism might not be functioning correctly in your case, leading to a crash instead of a graceful failure. You might want to check if the `useGoGit` flag is set, as it can affect how empty repositories are handled. Additionally, ensure that the error handling in the `GogitRepoCollector` and related functions is correctly implemented to prevent crashes <sup>[[3]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/parser/repo_gogit.go)</sup><sup>[[4]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/impl/impl.go)</sup>. If the issue persists, consider adding additional logging to capture more detailed error messages, which could help in diagnosing the problem further. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* --- <sup>Help Dosu learn!
