> error: object directory /home/vagrant/repos/hbase/.git/objects does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates. the object directory messages are a side effect of using the shared objects. It shouldn't be listed as an error since git then immediately checks the alternates we provide and finds what it needs. > Parenthetically, I am confused by the -r .git idiom. If I understand the GIT_REPO usage properly, it needs to point at an actual repository, while .git is the usual name of the git account metadata directory. Why would I point -r at it? The processing code doesn't shed any light for me. the `.git` metadata directory is itself a repository, albeit one only on the local system. using it for a release candidate means the tag generated will be in that local repository. If the RM wants the tag published somewhere else then they need to push it to the other remote. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
