Hi everybody, I'm trying to fetch from the Linux kernel repository at http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/. After downloading the objects, git failed while trying to fetch tags. Retrying the fetch operation gives the following output:
$ git-fetch origin Fetching refs/heads/master from http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/ using http Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc1 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc1 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc2 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc2 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc3 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc3 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc4 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc4 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc5 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc5 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc6 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc6 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc7 Auto-following refs/tags/v2.6.20-rc7 Failed to fetch refs/tags/v2.6.20 from http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/ While trying to solve the issue, I noticed that the refs/tags directory in the remote repository is empty. Is that a normal situation ? Should git be able to regenerate the tags locally from the objects ? I'm using git 1.4.4.4. Best regards, Laurent Pinchart PS: please CC me when replying to this e-mail.
