[BUG?] git-clone fails on .git/refs/foo

Yann Dirson· Jun 10, 2006, 22:50 UTC · lore

Could it be that git-clone has a problem when a ref is not inside a subdir of .git/refs ?

Both 1.3.3 and 1.4.0 show the following problem, which prevents cloning from this repo:

I think it always has been like that, not that I consider it is not a bug.
