* [bug] Cloning SSH repo into /tmp

Hi,

I encountered a quite weird bug when I tried to clone a repository
into the /tmp folder (I just wanted to test something, so I was
working in /tmp).

I run the following command in /tmp :
    git clone ssh://[user]@[host]/project/[project_name]
and I got the following error:
    fatal: the protocol '/tmp/ssh' is not supported

I got the same result if a run the following command from /tmp directory:
    git clone ssh://[user]@[host]/project/[project_name] /tmp/project_name

Nevertheless, the command works in other directories. Even the second
command works when run from another directory (this command: git clone
ssh://[user]@[host]/project/[project_name] /tmp/project_name).

It is very specific and can easily be worked around so it is no big
deal but I preferred reporting this in case it hides something else.

Have a good day!

What platform are you running on? I have experienced similar when /tmp is linked to a separate file system with complex ACLs.

I encountered this behaviour on Linux Mint 20. But I just tried on
RedHatEnterpriseServer 7.6 and I could not reproduce this behaviour.

I wonder whether there's something strange about how Mint partitions the disk, and whether /tmp is somehow configured weirdly on your machine.

I don't know and... I am not able to reproduce this bahaviour after
rebooting this machine... I don't know what happened, I will tell you
if it happens again and if I find in which conditions it happens.
Thanks!
