I forgot to do 'ssh-add', so a 'git fetch' running under Windows Emacs
tried to prompt for the ssh passphrase, could not find an ssh
passphrase
prompt program, and aborted.
That left the workspace unusable:
- .git/FETCH_HEAD is empty
that causes 'git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD' to fail with a confusing
error message.
- 'git fetch' just hangs after outputting:
remote: Counting objects: 15, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
remote: Total 9 (delta 5), reused 0 (delta 0)
even with -v --progress
A fresh clone allowed me to continue working, but this will happen
again, so I'd like a better fix.
The fetch is from stephen_le...@git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/elpa.git
I'm running git 1.7.9 from Cygwin. I have access to Debian, where I can
compile git and run it under the debugger, if that helps. I have not
yet
tried to reproduce this bug on Debian.
