I did not face such problem myself, but I can offer two solutions to try: 1) Git repo on a file system is still a Git repo, so you can just push to it: $ cd /tmp/bkup $ git init --bare $ cd ~/devel/myrepo $ git push --mirror file:///tmp/bkup 2) Try to use git-bundle command for backups. Also try to use the "-a" option to the cp command -- this is how it actually supposed to be used. Or try good old tar. As far as your disk space is not an issue, I'd stick to the first colution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
