And the same on Linux with Git v1.7.12

Re: git gui does not open bare repositories
Hi Ben, I run the same test on Linux, and have got the same results as you did. So the problem is only on Windows. -Angelo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I'm running git 1.7.12.1 and I get exactly this message: Cannot use bare repository: /Users/bsmith/tmp/repo.git When I do exactly this: $ cd ~/tmp $ mkdir repo.git $ cd repo.git $ git init --bare $ git gui What, exactly, are you doing? // Ben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: git gui does not open bare repositories
I have removed the Italian localization so as to make git gui use the English one. The result is the same as I have found before. The message is: " Not a Git repository: remote.git". Thus, the misleading message is there. -Angelo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I get "Not a Git repository: remote.git" as well, when I run
git gui "somewhere" (i.e. not in "remote.git") and the select
"Open Existing Repository".
I get "Cannot use bare repository: .../remote.git" when I run git gui
from inside the "remote.git" directory.
Both on WinXP with msysGit.

Actually git-gui 0.16.0 is telling me that it cannot use bare repositories, much in the vein of what I wrote earlier. Don't know if it matters that I'm on Linux though.

Be as it may, as soon as you've initialized the repo as required, git gui will (probably) tell you: "Cannot use bare repository: d:/gtest/remote.git" So nothing gained there. So I'm wondering what you expect git gui to give you in a bare repo? It seems to me that this tool is specifically aimed at non-bare repos, allowing for creating commits, merges and whatnot; all things you cannot typically do in a bare repo.
