Bug#682067: git can not clone fai config space
Hello everyone again, I am sorry for my untested and wrong suggestion. I got feedback that it doesn't work, which is due to my command is not unsetting GIT_WORK_TREE, but setting it to an empty string instead. If the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE is needed (I presume it is), you need to unset it temporarily in a subshell: ( unset GIT_WORK_TREE; git clone --branch ... ) I would be happy if someone tested this suggestion and can confirm that it works.

Bug#682067: git can not clone fai config space
Hello all, it seems like you trip around a kind of "do-what-i-mean" feature in git. If you set GIT_WORK_TREE, git clone assumes you want a detached working directory, and thus treats the command line argument as the directory you want to be $GIT_DIR. So the patch to replace $FAI by $GIT_DIR in fact does what is needed. On the other hand, breakage is observed by that patch for other people, which seems to indicate that the behaviour of git clone is not consistent over git versions. The git version shipped in debian wheezy does the following if GIT_WORK_TREE is set: - clones the repo into what you specify on the command line (not into .git, no matter what the value of GIT_DIR is) - checks out the files into $GIT_WORK_TREE - marks the clone as non-bare repository with a non-standard working tree at $GIT_WORK_TREE As later git commands do honor $GIT_DIR, breakage occurs. My suggestion is thus a different patch: unset GIT_WORK_TREE for the checkout by running GIT_WORK_TREE= git clone --branch "$gitbranch" "$giturl" $FAI you don't need to specify the work tree in the environment variable, as you already pass the value on the command line.

Bug#682067: git can not clone fai config space
Package: fai-client Version: 4.0.6 Hello, i start to set up FAI for installing systems with debian wheezy from a debian wheezy FAI server. i also can not get the config space from a git repository over ssh, same error/behaviour as above: --snip-- FAI_CONFIG_SRC is set to git+ssh://user@host/srv/git/fai-wheezy.git Checking out from git Cloning into '/var/lib/fai/config'... fatal: Not a git repository: '/var/lib/fai/config/.git' Error in task confdir. Traceback: task_error _git_checkout main --snap-- booting via PXE with kernel parameter: FAI_CONFIG_SRC="git+ssh://user@host/srv/git/fai-wheezy.git" i init my repository without the --bare option, so i think it is no a bare repository. The suggested solution/patch works in my case, but how can i setup the repository correct to work without that patch? best regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
