Obfuscated error message

Bernie Innocenti· Mar 11, 2009, 04:24 UTC · lore

A friend who uses Mercurial pointed this out as a reson why Git is evil:

rasky@lilax:~/src$ git clone git://www.develer.com/doesnt-exist Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rasky/src/doesnt-exist/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Plus, the directory was not really there :-)

rasky@lilax:~/src$ hg clone hg://www.develer.com/doesnt-exist abort: repository hg://www.develer.com/doesnt-exist not found!

rasky@lilax:~/src$ svn co svn://www.develer.com/doesnt-exist svn: URL 'svn://www.develer.com/doesnt-exist' doesn't exist

And another really nasty one:

trinity:~/foo$ git init Initialized empty shared Git repository in /home/bernie/foo/.git/ trinity:~/foo$ git push fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Both are with git HEAD as of today.
