SCHILZ MANFRED· Dec 4, 2013, 16:11 UTC · lore

Hello, We are using git on windows7(git-version 1.8.1; see below) and we get the following problem in using the command 'git --git-dir='

C:\UserTemp\git\appli3>git --git-dir=C:\UserTemp\git\appli3 tag fatal: Not a git repository: 'C:\UserTemp\git\appli3'

but the repository is well defined,as we can run the following command:

C:\UserTemp\git\appli3>git log -1 --oneline 37cdbe0 Merge branch 'master' of L:/_ApplicationData/FBLU_IT-FLIT/se-DevelopSupp

When running the equivalent command on Linux, we don't have any problems: On Linux:

>git --git-dir="/tmp/GITPOC/appli3" tag

V1.0 V1.1 V2.0 V3.0

Could you help me please ?

Best regards

Manfred Schilz

I have no clue. The --git-dir calls is_git_directory("C:\\UserTemp\\git\\appli3") while the "git log" calls is_git_directory("."). The former fails and the latter suceeds.. Copying msysgit@ maybe they know something. Btw what if you try

git --git-dir=. tag

You have to specify git dir instead of the dir contain .git This option use when your are not in git repo or git dir isn't .git as by default $ git --git-dir=.git tag $ git --git-dir=/mnt/E/MyProjects/git/.git tag $ git --version git version 1.8.5-rc1

RE: problems with git --git-dir on windows 7

Hi all,

Thanks for your answers: As you said the solution is:

For non-bare-repos the .git-directory must be specified: git --git-dir=c:\usertemp\git\appli2\.git tag

for bare-repositories the .git does not exist , so git --git-dir=c:\usertemp\git\appli3_bare tag works(bare-repo) correctly

thanks a lot

Manfred
