Description Chris Ball 2008-07-24 03:33:06 UTC

Hi,

Description of problem:

The version of GIT currently in Rawhide has a rather severe bug -- git-clone
refuses to create intermediate directories during a clone.  It did create them
in previous versions, and many scripts (for example, GNOME and Xorg jhbuild)
depended on this behavior.  As a result, jhbuild fails with current Rawhide.

This has been fixed upstream with commit 2beebd2, which is present in upstream
release 1.5.6.1.  Please consider pushing a package containing that release to
Rawhide.

The individual fix commit is:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=commitdiff;h=2beebd2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pullcord:cjb~ % rpm -q git                                                     
git-1.5.6-1.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/macros xorg/util/macros

Actual results:
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'xorg/util/macros'.

Expected results:
Success.

I just build 1.5.6.4 in rawhide. Thanks for the heads-up, Chris!
