Subject: Cloning an empty remote repository using Git GUI fails
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 14:43:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <408a4b8c4a02df89516c8920ac99b80fde096cce.camel@cam.ac.uk> (raw)

git version 2.17.1
git-gui version 0.21.GITGUI

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open `git gui`
2) Select "Clone Existing Repository"
3) Set "Source Location" to an empty remote repository (I am trying
to clone from a gitolite "wild" repo that is created on the fly during
the clone).
4) Clone

Result:

fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Expected result:

Successful clone
