Are you sure it does nothing? I see git v1.0.4 on my debian box at work. Indeed, it is a way less verbose than a git from my home linux box (v1.3.3), but it still works. I guess you remember that GIT repository is near to ~180 MB [*] by its size, so cloning cannot happend immediately. I just ran git-clone script directly with shell tracing enabled: $ sh -x git-clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine It paused at these lines, v1.0.4: defaulting to local storage area ++ pwd + D=/usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine + test -d /usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine + cd /usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine + git-clone-pack git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git v1.3.3: + D=/usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine + trap 'err=$?; cd ..; rm -r "$D"; exit $err' exit + case "$bare" in + GIT_DIR=/usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine/.git + export GIT_DIR + git-init-db + case "$bare" in + GIT_DIR=/usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine/.git + test -n '' + rm -f /usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine/.git/CLONE_HEAD + case "$local,$use_local" in + case "$repo" in + cd /usr/src/wine-git/temp/wine + case "$upload_pack" in + git-fetch-pack --all -k git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git 0.445MB (46 kB/s) So, I guess you are observing normal behaviour. [*] ~100 MB is for repository internals (.git) and ~80 MB is occupied by the extracted source (dlls, fonts, include, ...)
