Does it also happen on > the latest version? Sorry - forgot that detail. This is using git 2.1.4 from Ubuntu 15.04 x86_64. I haven't tried the latest version of git yet. ``` ## Mike Hommey, 2015-08-04 23:03 Subject: Re: fetching from an hg remote fails with bare git repositories Message-ID: <20150804230359.GA27965@glandium.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20150804230359.GA27965%40glandium.org In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Aug 04, 2015 at 05:27:13PM -0400, Taylor Braun-Jones wrote: > On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 2:56 PM, Stefan Beller wrote: > > On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 10:45 AM, Taylor Braun-Jones > > wrote: > >> Fetching from an hg remote fails with bare git repositories.

Another missing detail is what you're using for mercurial support in git. I would guess https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg. Shameless plug, you may want to give a try to https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar. Anyways, your error looks like what I fixed in 33cae54, which git describe tells me made it to git 2.3.2.

I would guess https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg. Yes. I was going off some outdated information on the web that told me the felipec/git-remote-hg had moved to mainline git. I now see that has been undone. > Shameless plug, you may want to give a try to > https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the project for support for pushing merge commits. That missing feature is a show-stopper for me right now. Since git-cinnabar is not doing a full hg clone under the hood, is there a chance that it will support shallow clones? (even before the native hg client has this feature...) > Anyways, your error looks like what I fixed in 33cae54, which git > describe tells me made it to git 2.3.2. Yep, grabbing the latest version of git (2.5.0) solved the problem. Sorry for the bother. Taylor ```
