Re: git fails with control characters in trunk directory name

Last not least, I managed to reproduce the problem almost exactly:

1.) hm@localhost git
clone "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/holtmann/bluetooth-testing.git
"
       (Note the trailing linefeed)

That's all the command printed? No "Initialized empty Git repository" line?

hm@localhost /var/tmp $ git clone "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/holtmann/bluetooth-testing.git
"
Initialized empty Git repository in /mnt/hda1/tmp/bluetooth-testing.git

hm@localhost /var/tmp $ ls

Ok, clone works. Fully and correctly (even if a bit unexpected).

hm@localhost /var/tmp/bluetooth-testing.git $ make
make[1]: /mnt/hda1/tmp/bluetooth-testing.git: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/mnt/hda1/tmp/bluetooth-testing.git'.  Stop.

It is just linux build system which does not support compilation in oddly
named directories (which is reasonable, if you ask me).

hm@localhost /var/tmp/bluetooth-testing.git $ git pull
fatal: Error in line 2:

That's already fixed. Will send the fix in a minute.
