But if your bare repos\nfollow the general naming convention of ending in .git relink will work. That is,\nif your bare repos are named repo.git rather than just repo.\n\nHTH,\nSean\n"},{"id":"70945","messageId":"200803040834.14099.jgoerzen@complete.org","threadId":"12470","inReplyTo":"BAYC1-PASMTP07875E628BE4BA7D43175FAE100@CEZ.ICE","subject":"Re: git-relink doesn't work on bare repos","fromName":"John Goerzen","fromEmail":"jgoerzen@complete.org","sentAt":"2008-03-04T14:34:13Z","receivedAt":"2008-03-04T14:34:13Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jgoerzen@complete.org","avatar":null},"body":"On Tue March 4 2008 1:09:59 am Sean wrote:\n\n> It should probably fixed to work as you would expect.

I should be able to call it myrepo.exe if I \nlike, and as long as it has a .git dir with stuff in it, or is bare, it \nshould just work.\n\n> > If I give people a git:// url, they already know it's a Git repo, I\n> > figure.\n>\n> So you must use \"--git-dir\" _everytime_ you are working with Git inside\n> the repo.\n\nThat's not been my experience. In fact, I can 'git log' quite happily inside \na bare repo. Why on earth should git-relink care what I have named my repo? \nIt's not like git clone, push, pull, or anything else cares.\n\n-- John\n"}]}
