Hello git-list,

We're experimenting with using git for the mock source repository on fedoraproject.org. The CVS repository was converted over and I successfully cloned a repository and went merrily on my way.

One of my collaborators cloned the repository the other day and found that it didn't have any branches in it. I cloned a temp copy of it and found that the files that normally would be in refs/heads to identify the branches had somehow been moved to the directory refs/remotes/origin. In my local repository (which was cloned immediately after the CVS import), if I list what's in refs/heads, I get this:

$ ls -F refs/heads master mock mock-0-6-branch mock-0.7 origin

on the whacky cloned copy, I get this: $ ls -F refs/heads master

and if I look in refs/remotes/origin: $ ls -F refs/remotes/origin HEAD master mock mock-0-6-branch mock-0.7 origin

Can anyone come up with a way that I could have mangled the repository with a push? I mean, I have no idea how that remotes/origin directory got created; I don't even have an interactive login on git.fedoraproject.org.

If anyone wants to see the repository, you can clone it from:
git://git.fedoraprojects.org/git/hosted/mock

I'm not sure if it makes sense to try and repair this or just start anew. Any advice would be appreciated.

Clark
