Package: git Version: 1:2.20.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
There is a regression in the behavior of git checkout on a new, uncecked-out git repository: $ git clone --no-checkout <git_repo> /tmp/repo $ git -C /tmp/repo checkout -b <new_branch> <tag> $ ls /tmp/repo <empty, nothing was checked-out> Bug was fixed in v2.21.0 of git. Patch is available [1]. I known v2.23.x is available in experimental/testing/unstable branch, but it would be nice to have it in stable too.
