I keep my bare repositories on an AFS file server, mounted locally. When I clone them, I do
git clone --no-hardlinks file:///afs/whereever.foo.bar/myrepository.git
I frequently get the following:
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
and no files. This is easily fixed with
git branch master origin/master
git checkout master
but I was wondering how to fix it so this isn't necessary.
Thanks,
Liam
