Re: [jgit-dev] Cloning empty repo over network protocol different than over file://

OK, then

Just out of curiosity is it filed? Tried to look for it but without success. And if the answer is no should I file it.

Thanks

I've found following. Cloning from a server running jGit (using http:, ssh:
or git:) produces different results than cloning over file: (using git
client) or when cloning from a server not running jGit (such as github).

The subtle difference is:

1) The message:
jGit produces:
"remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout"

Where standard git (file: or server) produces a message saying:
"You appear to have cloned an empty repository."

2) Content of the cloned repo:
Running: diff -ur gbt1 gbt2

produces:

diff -ur gbt1/.git/config gbt2/.git/config

Packed refs (only in the repo cloned from jgit) contains:
# pack-refs with: peeled fully-peeled

I'm of the feeling that 1.x versions did not have this difference (this test
was done gitblit using on jGit 3.3.1), but did not try so I'm not 100% sure.

Not sure if this is a bug so did not file it as one.

Known bug. I think Colby and I accidentally broke this part of the
server advertisement a while ago to fix a different bug in our custom
JGit servers.
