git problem

Post #1 of 3 (1098 views)

I'm trying to get the head source so I can try the patch Ram mentioned
in his email but without success. I have not used git/cogito before.

The output below is from a cygwin session but I get similar results on
Ubuntu as well (a bit more of the html ending with 'as an object to
pull'). So whatever is wrong is common to my cygwin and Ubuntu setup.

Thanks,
Andrew

On Cygwin I am using the latest binary install packages, git is
1.5.0.3 so they should be OK. No proxy that I am aware of.

I found a typo in my git command line and now it gets further but still
does not complete. This does not look like a network issue to me but
then I don't know what it could be either.

This happens sometimes with kernel.org. Just retry the operation after
some time. I don't know if git pull would work on a git clone error, but
it's worth trying instead of a full clone.

Just now:

It could be that you're getting corrupted data via your network or from
your memory.
