Hi,

I have a strange problem and need your support if possible.

When I clone a  remote GIT repository (LAN)  to  local machine,  I get two
working  folder one at the GIT local folder (normal) and the other in
 original path of where the remote repository had been created before it was
cloned  to remote network.

How can I overcome this issue to only have one local working folder.


Step to  reproduce it:

1- Create a local GIT repo.  (D:\repositoies\projectname)
2- Clone the GIT repo. to network path ( \\server\GIT\ projectname) use a
bare flag.
3- Clone the remote repo ( \\server\GIT\ projectname) to other machine in
path (C:\GIT\projectname) and create working tree
4- We will fine two working tree one at C:\GIT\projectname and the other at
D:\repositoies\projectname.

Thanks in advance .

Regards
Samy Louis

Didn't you create a working tree at D:\repositoies\projectname in step 1
already?

Yes I created it in local machine before I clone it to the remote machine ,
but  the issue appears   when I clone the remote repo to another machine to
different path.
