Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <20090129142657.GG21473@genesis.frugalware.org> Hmm, no, --mirror adds extra remote tracking information. Quoting the git-clone man page: "...the branch heads at the remote are copied directly..." which is to say, git clone --bare isn't doing what it's supposed to do. that said, i'm not too sure about this, hence this thread.
