[PATCH] clone: fix creation of explicitly named target directory

From: Clemens Buchacher <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:45:17
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

'git clone <repo> path/' (note the trailing slash) fails, because the
entire path is interpreted as leading directories. So when mkdir tries to
create the actual path, it already exists.

This makes sure trailing slashes are removed.

As a "bugfix" patch meant to apply to 'maint', I'd prefer a fix to the
caller (builtin-clone.c that calls the function), which should be of much
less impact.  It is fine to include the change to add strerror(errno) in
that patch, whose title would be "clone: fix creation of explicitly named
target directory".
