I'm using git version 2.37.1.windows.1 and Windows 10

I've got two systems which are miles apart and so are not on the same LAN, and I have connected them together using the ui.com VPN and M$ RDP/TSclient. I mapped each system's C: drive to be accessed by the other system as Drive X: and I can transfer files back and forth initiated on each system.

I can also see all the repository files on the source system, including the tree of files under the .git directory. Note I had to unhide the .git folder so that I could see that folder from the other system.

However, when I run 'git clone' on one system to get the repository from the other system, git seems to think the repository on the other system is empty when it's not. As I said, I can even do a directory and see all the other files.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! -Paul Kinzelman, Peralta NM
