Note that it tries to access /server instead of //server. - Orgad ``` ## Torsten Bögershausen, 2012-08-29 18:56 Subject: Re: relative objects/info/alternates doesn't work on remote SMB repo Message-ID: <503E65D3.2010809@web.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/503E65D3.2010809%40web.de In-Reply-To: ``` On 29.08.12 08:43, Orgad and Raizel Shaneh wrote: > Hi, > > I have a repo accessed through //server/share/foo/repo (Using msysgit). > > .git/objects/info/alternates contains '../../../bare/objects' > > Running 'git status' (or almost any other action) gives the following output: > error: object directory /server/share/foo/bare/objects does not exist; > check .git/objects/info/alternates. > > Note that it tries to access /server instead of //server. > > - Orgad > -- You may consider to ask this question in the msys mailing list (see CC above) (And please specify which version of msysgit you use) ``` ## Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy, 2012-08-30 12:51 Subject: Re: relative objects/info/alternates doesn't work on remote SMB repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CACsJy8BSpX7UxAEhZTqNnazAtSMp7oZtyxiBdnVoCXefWpTDEw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 1:43 PM, Orgad and Raizel Shaneh wrote: > Hi, > > I have a repo accessed through //server/share/foo/repo (Using msysgit). > > .git/objects/info/alternates contains '../../../bare/objects' > > Running 'git status' (or almost any other action) gives the following output: > error: object directory /server/share/foo/bare/objects does not exist; > check .git/objects/info/alternates. > > Note that it tries to access /server instead of //server. Could be path normalization. What does "git rev-parse --git-dir" say? Try to run it at top working directory and a subdirectory as well. If you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY environment variable to //server/share/foo/repo/.git/objects, does it work? -- Duy -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.

Try setting again, pointing GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to the "objects" directory inside your repository. I just want to make see if it's because git miscalculates this path. If setting the env variable works, then it probably does. -- Duy -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.

I have /d/share/bare, which is a bare repository, and /d/share/repo which is a clone with a relative path to bare/.git/objects in its .git/objects/info/alternates D:\share is configured as a SMB shared folder. It is accessed using //server/share. I do not clone from this directory, but work directly in it using 'cd //server/share', then performing git operations. >> setting GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY prints "fatal: bad object HEAD" on git status. > > I guessed you put your repo in .../repo/.git, but I was probably > wrong.
