fatal: protocol error: expected sha/ref

February 25, 2009 Ali Sabil 5 comments

Dear Lennart,

You should probably know that typing the correct URL would work better for cloning a bzr branch (yes a branch, not a repository).

This is what I get when I try to feed git a random invalid URL:

$ git clone git://github.com/idontexist
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/asabil/Desktop/idontexist/.git/
fatal: protocol error: expected sha/ref, got ‘
*********’

No matching repositories found.

*********’

Now is probably the time to stop this non constructive “my DVCS is better than yours”, and focus on writing code and fixing bugs.

A few days ago Johann wrote a nice blog post about the People Framework, explaining what People is and what is the scope of the project. Unfortunately he didn’t include any kind of graphic, so here is one:
