Re: cg-admin-setuprepo fails to make a cg-clone'able repo

Dear diary, on Sat, Nov 12, 2005 at 05:51:35PM CET, I got a letter

When I tried "local cloning", I first tried to make an empty archive
with cgi-init, but it dumped me into an editor.  I couldn't find a
switch to turn that off.  Perhaps the manpage should say "you'll
be dumped in to an editor",

Well, that's pretty obvious after the first try. ;-)

and perhaps provide a way to pass that message with "-m".

Good idea. Added.

So, on a whim, I realize that it's performing an initial commit,

It says that right in the editor, after all. :-)

so I try cg-init -I.

And here's the result:

    localhost:~/Projects/Git % cg-init -I my_master
    defaulting to local storage area
    localhost:~/Projects/Git % cg-clone my_master my_slave
    defaulting to local storage area
    find: /Users/merlyn/Projects/Git/my_master: No such file or directory
    Hard links don't work - using copy
    Fetching head...
    cp: illegal option -- b
    usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src target
           cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory
    cg-fetch: unable to get the HEAD branch
    cg-clone: fetch failed

So, I guess your answer is no.  What is "-b" for cp.  That's not
on my manpage.

It's something totally weird "backup" thing. A bug in Cogito, what we
_want_ is to have cp dereferencing its symlink. I replaced it with -L
now. Could you try the latest version from git or -rc2 (coming out in
few minutes), please?

And, after reading the manpage closer, I see my first "my_master"
was created wrong.  But no error message. :(

Good catch. Fixed.
