Hello,
A colleague was having problems with git clone. It seemed to work as expected for me so I went into his environment to see what was causing it to fail. I found that he had set the CDPATH environment variable to something like '.:..:../..:$HOME'. Try this (using bash) and you'll see the problem:
export CDPATH=. git clone (anything local)
The function get_repo_base seems to break with this CDPATH.
Below is how I solved the problem for the short-term. Use it as you see fit. I did not look into other commands to see if there are other implications to using CDPATH.
Cheers, Carl
