I create the initial repository with
git-clone /<full-path>/<name>.git/ <folder>
That works fine, but then I can't fetch. git-fetch gives the error "fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive" "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"

Are you trying to clone a bare repository? Or is your repo maybe at /<full-path>/<name> with a .git subdir?

Yes, a bare repository.

Then, maybe the full list of command lines (including cd and git-fetch) would be helpful in order to track this down.

Ok, sorry, thought it was probable something really obvious. Here's the sequence (using git version 1.5.4).
$ git-clone /big/git/paul.git/ epage Initialized empty Git repository in /home/paul/epage/.git/ 719749 bolcks $ cd epage $ git-fetch fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Something tells me that this is not a copy/paste ;-)

Is there a "[remote "origin"]" section in .git/config? What Git version is this, anyway?

Let's just hope that's not units of boelkstoff ;)

1.5.4
Could git trip over that trailing slash? git 1.5.5.1 certainly doesn't.
BTW: The above shows something that confused me initially about cloning: git reports the creation of an empty repo, nothing else. But it does much more, of course, just without reporting.

The documentation suggests having the trailing slash, and I think I tried without, but I'll try again just in case.

Oh yeah, I realise the fetch is already done by the clone, and that git-fetch wouldn't bring anything new in right after the clone, but there are other pushers for that repo.

The "big" bit you mean? :-) It just happened to be the name chosen for the mount of a large disc when added to the server.

No, not in /home/paul/epage/.git/config. There's just a [core] section. I guess that's the problem. I thought git-clone set that up automatically.
It's v1.5.4

No, I think it's the "bolcks" :P

Did you chdir into <folder> before trying to fetch?

Yes, it wasn't that... well to be fair I forgot to chdir the first time, but it warned me about that.
