Hi,

I was trying to setup a git repository to use as a site 'alternative' repo for various kernel projects.

I am currently using one with the .git/remotes/* method of specifying remotes, but I decided to convert to .git/config method because of git-remote update.

So here is what I am doing

$ git version git version 1.5.0.1.37.g1e592

$ mkdir cache.git $ cd cache.git $ git init-db

$ git remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git $ git remote add v2.6.15.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.15.y.git $ git remote add v2.6.16.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git $ git remote add v2.6.17.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.17.y.git $ git remote add v2.6.18.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git $ git remote add v2.6.19.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.19.y.git $ git remote add v2.6.20.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.20.y.git

$ git remote linus v2

$ git remote update Fetching linus ... Fetching v2 fatal: 'v2': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Cannot get the repository state from v2 fetch v2: command returned error: 1

The problem seems obvious. I have dots in my remote names, and git-remote uses git-config to read the configuration.

Fix below.
