Can someone explain why if I use c:/some/path as an argument to git
clone, it fails. But if I use /cygdrive/c/some/path it works.
Here is an example:
GIT_TRACE=1 git clone c:/Users/hoffman/Work/My\
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT foobar
trace: built-in: git 'clone' 'c:/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT' 'foobar'
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/f/foobar/.git/
fatal: failed to open '/cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/f/c:/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT/objects':
No such file or directory
Somehow, the path has been duplicated one with /cygdrive/c and one
without and the two of the smashed together???
This works:
$ GIT_TRACE=1 git clone /cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My\
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT foobar
trace: built-in: git 'clone' '/cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT' 'foobar'
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/f/foobar/.git/
trace: run_command: 'git-upload-pack
'\''/cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT'\'''
trace: exec: 'sh' '-c' 'git-upload-pack
'\''/cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT'\'''
'git-upload-pack '\''/cygdrive/c/Users/hoffman/Work/My
Builds/CMake-gmake/Tests/ExternalProject/LocalRepositories/GIT'\'''
Any ideas?
Thanks.
