This gives the error: ... A sip2slnp/src/main/Sip2SlnpDaemon.c A sip2slnp/src/main/Sip2SlnpServer.c fatal: name consists only of disallowed characters: 32768 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.1/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 476. and it took me a while to understand that the message means that the full name MUST be there. IMHO this should be noted. 2) The page says in the section about cleanups after cloning that the branch 'trunk' should be delted, but this gives an error: git branch -d trunk error: branch 'trunk' not found. I do have only: git branch --list | egrep 'master|trunk|HEAD' * master origin/trunk Thanks for the good doc. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
