Fetching from an hg remote fails with bare git repositories. Non-bare repositories work fine.

Steps to reproduce:

mkdir /tmp/hgrepo cd /tmp/hgrepo hg init echo foo > foo.txt hg add foo.txt hg commit -m "add foo.txt" foo.txt git clone hg::/tmp/hgrepo/ /tmp/gitrepo cd /tmp/gitrepo/ git fetch # WORKS git clone --bare hg::/tmp/hgrepo/ /tmp/gitrepo.git cd /tmp/gitrepo.git/ git fetch # FAILS

The error message from the last line is:

fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 error: hg::/tmp/hgrepo/ did not send all necessary objects
