Hi all, Thanks for your answers: As you said the solution is:
For non-bare-repos the .git-directory must be specified: git --git-dir=c:\usertemp\git\appli2\.git tag for bare-repositories the .git does not exist , so git --git-dir=c:\usertemp\git\appli3_bare tag works(bare-repo) correctly thanks a lot Manfred -----Original Message----- From: Trần Ngọc Quân [mailto:vnwild...@gmail.com] Sent: vendredi 6 décembre 2013 02:35 To: SCHILZ MANFRED Cc: Duy Nguyen; Git Mailing List; msysGit Subject: Re: problems with git --git-dir on windows 7 ***** This message comes from the Internet Network ***** On 06/12/2013 08:07, Duy Nguyen wrote: > On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 11:11 PM, SCHILZ MANFRED <manfred.sch...@bgl.lu> wrote: >> Hello, >> We are using git on windows7(git-version 1.8.1; see below) and we get the >> following problem in using the command 'git --git-dir=' >> >> >> C:\UserTemp\git\appli3>git --git-dir=C:\UserTemp\git\appli3 tag >> fatal: Not a git repository: 'C:\UserTemp\git\appli3' >> >> >> but the repository is well defined,as we can run the following command: >> >> C:\UserTemp\git\appli3>git log -1 --oneline >> 37cdbe0 Merge branch 'master' of >> L:/_ApplicationData/FBLU_IT-FLIT/se-DevelopSupp > I have no clue.

You have to specify git dir instead of the dir contain .git This option use when your are not in git repo or git dir isn't .git as by default $ git --git-dir=.git tag $ git --git-dir=/mnt/E/MyProjects/git/.git tag $ git --version git version 1.8.5-rc1 > >> When running the equivalent command on Linux, we don't have any problems: >> On Linux: >>> git --git-dir="/tmp/GITPOC/appli3" tag >> V1.0 >> V1.1 >> V2.0 >> V3.0 >> >> Could you help me please ? >> >> Best regards >> >> Manfred Schilz >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> ------------------ >> C:\UserTemp\git\appli3>git --version >> git version 1.8.1.msysgit.1 >> >> ============================================ >> Internet communications are not secure and therefore BGL BNP Paribas does >> not accept legal responsibility for the contents of this message.
