Everything is in the title.
I'm pushing from a Windows XP with MSysGit installed. I'm pushing on a Linux (RHEL 5) which doesn't have git installed in /usr or in /usr/local (no admin right on the box)
When I'm doing a :
git clone user@redhatbox:~/repo/myrepo.git
It failed because of git-upload-pack not found. So I use my super skills to read the manpage and add
git clone -u "/path/on/the/redhat/to/git-upload-pack" user@redhatbox:~/repo/myrepo.git
And what I get is :
ksh: line 1: D:/users/myuser/softs/Git/path/on/the/redhat/to/git-upload-pack: not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
This %*$$~@ prepend a windows path to my path that should be the one on the redhat.
Oh yeah, we use ksh :(
It appears that MSysGit recognized a "unix path" in my command and prepend windows path in it, even if it has nothing to do with it. The way to avoid that behaviour :
git clone -u "\/path/on/the/redhat/to/git-upload-pack" user@redhatbox:~/repo/myrepo.git
Yes, put a \ before the first / in the path. MSysGit won't interpret it and won't prepend some windows path before. You need to put the path in " too.
