Fatal: reference is not a tree for colloquy theme git submodule #13

I've just cloned your repo and run 'rake themes:init' and get this error:

fatal: reference is not a tree: f7fc5c824fba0e51be7d4d86cecc849e3a979d06

when it tried to clone the sub module limechat-theme-colloquy @ f7fc5c8

Was this ever resolved? I didn't experience this issue when cloning.

josh-nz commented 11 years ago

My understanding of git submodules is that a git clone will simply include the reference to the appropriate commit of the other repo/s. It's not until you run some command that it pulls that data from that repo/s in. In this case, some part of rake themes:init must do this. Did you try running this command?

Of course, I could be totally wrong about this. I haven't tried repeating the procedure since I first logged the issue, so cannot comment further as to whether it's been resolved.

Yes, I ran rake themes:init as outlined in the readme, and things went smoothly. Maybe this happened because f7fc5c8 doesn't exist on github anymore. I'm not sure, but a bad reference does sound like the cause.
