Re: Scripted clone generating an incomplete, unusable .git/config

It looks like you've probably figured it out already, but for
completeness:

Most likely the clone is terminating when Python exits, perhaps due to
SIGPIPE.  It doesn't look like a bug to me; I suspect you meant to use
os.system(), which is synchronous, instead.  You might be able to get
a better sense of what happened with GIT_TRACE=1 or strace.

Hope that helps,
