I'm catching a Git error I am not used to seeing. When I attempt to
clone a repo, the operations returns what is shown below.

I'm a Git novice, so I'm not really sure what is going on. The version
of Git seems kind of old considering 2.7.0 is the latest:

   noloader@gcc12:~/cryptopp$ git --version
   git version 1.5.6.5

Would it be possible to have Git upgraded?

Or should I forgo Git in this instance and just scp a tarball?

My apologies for the request, and thanks in advance.

You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me either.  Please
name which branch you want to merge on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec.

If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to
configure the following variables in your configuration
file:

    branch.master.remote = <nickname>
    branch.master.merge = <remote-ref>
    remote.<nickname>.url = <url>
    remote.<nickname>.fetch = <refspec>

See git-config(1) for details.
noloader@gcc12:~/cryptopp$ git branch -a
noloader@gcc12:~/cryptopp$
