Take the following update into consideration and then reread my first email hopefully with improved clarity:

'home_subfolder' is the path on disk inside my user account home folder in the 'home' root folder to the initial repo from which I meant to do a backup.

'usb_subfolder' is the path on disk in the 'media' root folder to the initial empty folder into which I wanted to do the backup above that points into a usb stick I mounted in the default Kubuntu KDE file manager way of mounting usb stick folder hierarchies.

Current situation is that 'git log' in both home_subfolder and usb_subfolder show the same hash with only one branch in both. From usb_subfolder 'git pull home_subfolder' is broken as in the original message.
