So I created a bundle using git bundle create bundlename.bundle --all
and when cloning from it I get loads of warning: unrecognized header ...
.
Looking at the bundle file it’s obvious that data from the repository file contents has leaked into the bundle. Workaround? None.
Git flips me a bird again. As usual.
Mercurial has been more reliable, friendlier and actually helpful. I still can’t understand what the hype is around Git.
The affected repository was cloned from git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
and I am using git version 1.7.0.4
. The data leaked from the file contents is either from ld/testsuite/ChangeLog-2012
or from ld/testsuite/ChangeLog
, more likely the latter. All of those lines look like the output from a GNU make and start with a dash/minus.

PS: yes I have seen this, but it doesn’t help me at all. The version of Git affected is the one that comes with Ubuntu 12.04.
