Error on git clone

Hi,

I'm a newbie on using git. I installed Git 1.7.0.2 on my PC laptop running 
Windows XP Prof. SP 2.  When I run the command,
    "git clone git@github.com:......git sss", 
I got these log messages:

Initialized empty Git repository in c:/...../.git/ Enter passphrase for key 'C:\.....\privateKey': remote: Counting objects: 478, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (303/303), done. remote: Total 478 (delta 21), reused 436 (delta 3) Receiving objects: 100% (478/478), 96.57 MiB | 148 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (21/21), done. tagging': Invalid argumenttory at 'public/images/tagging

Does anyone have any clue on what this "Invalid argumenttory" error is all about? It did not finish unpacking all the files in folder sss. It aborted after this error. Thanks so much for the help.

Hoca.

You didn't show the command that you used.

The error is "Invalid argument" and was printed over a line that said something about a "repository". Can you reproduce the problem?

Hi Hannes,

I could consistently reproduce the problem.  The command that I used is:
    git clone -v git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git sss
where XXX & YYY are replaced with the actual data.

The additional log messages from -v option do not help much.  (See below)

To prevent the print over of the log messages, do you think I could use
1. any other option on git clone;
2. redirect the log messages to a file; or 
3. pipe them into a tee command?

Or do you have any suggestion on how to prevent the print over of the log messages?

Thanks so much again. Hoca

Just to make sure: This is with "Git for Windows", not Cygwin's git?

Do the clone in separate the steps:

mkdir sss cd sss git remote add origin git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git git fetch git checkout -b master origin/master

Do you see any errors?

Yes, this is with "Git for Windows" (a Git Bash Shell window).

So I did what you suggested:

mkdir sss3 cd sss3 git remote add origin git@github.com:XXX/YYY.git

Then an error occurs: fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Any thoughts?

Thanks. Hoca

Heya,

Please use 'git init sss3' instead.

Or you can of course run 'git init' here.
