OK, then I think it's safe to assume that TFS Server does not yet support 
namespaces.

Namespaces are primarily for separating repositories that contain much of 
the same objects. Or branches of the same software that you want to keep 
isolated from eachother. Given your usecase, I think you'd be better off 
just using a different repository for each tool.

The server is a Microsoft TFS Server 2013. I'm trying to find a way to provide 
one repository that contains multiple tools for various projects. But each of 
these projects only uses a subset of these tools and I want to limit the size 
of the clones. 

Thanks.

[git-users] Namespaces, git-remote-ext and http

[Thomas Schulte]

Hello,
 
I'm struggling with a repository that contains some namespaces.
The following basically shows what I'm trying:

--8<--
$ git init --bare myrepo.git
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/test/myrepo.git/
 
$ git clone myrepo.git/
Cloning into 'myrepo'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
done.
 
$ git clone ext::'git --namespace=project-one %s d:/test/myrepo.git' 
myrepo-project-one
Cloning into 'myrepo-project-one'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
--8<--
 
As you can see, this is quite fine :-)
It's also no problem to place this repository on a http server:

--8<--
$ git clone http://server/path/to/myrepo.git tools
Cloning into 'tools'...
Unpacking objects: 100% (6/6), done.
--8<--

But why does the following go wrong?

--8<--
$ git clone ext::'git --namespace=project-one %s 
http://server/path/to/myrepo.git' mytest
Cloning into 'mytest'...
fatal: 'http://server/path/to/myrepo.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
--8<--

URL checked multiple times, it's exactly the same as used in "git clone 
http...".
Any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas
