Running git submodule init, git submodule update after latest pull.

[TrevorS]

When I run: git submodule init followed by git submodule update I get this error:

remote: Counting objects: 80, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (51/51), done.

Is this enough information?

Hi there,

I just did a fresh clone of the Emacs Live repo and wasn't able to reproduce this error. Could you do a git pull and try again?

[samaaron]

Have things been fixed?

[TrevorS]

Running git submodule init, git submodule update no longer has the same error, though it does tend to hang while trying to grab undo-tree.

[martinffx]

I'm getting the same issue with undo-tree, I just can't clone that repo.

Is there another mirror I can use to get undo-tree from?

[martinffx]

I found this repo https://github.com/emacsmirror/undo-tree, I changed the submodule to point there and everything worked fine.

Should I submit a pull request with the change?

[samaaron]

The undo-tree submodule link isn't broken, just a bit slower than the ones from github.

Is it not working at all for you, or just being slow?

[TrevorS]

This is what I got today after running git pull, git submodule init, git submodule update:

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tstrieber/.emacs.d/packs/dev/power-pack/vendor/submodules/undo-tree/.git/

All the previous submodule updates worked fine. It took a few minutes for undo-tree to fail.

[samaaron]

Strange, I've never seen or heard of this issue before.

Does something similar happen with a fresh clone, rather than pulling into an existing clone?

[TrevorS]

Just ran your install script, then performed git submodule init, then git submodule update with these results:

[samaaron]

Could you just try cloning from the github repo directly and see if you get the same results:

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
git clone git://github.com/overtone/emacs-live.git
cd emacs-live
git submodule init
git submodule update

[martinffx]

I tried everything to get that undo-tree repo to work, even cloning directly, nothing would work.

The only solution I found was to update ref for that repo to point to the emacs-mirror copy on github.

From my side that repo is completely unresponsive.

[TrevorS]

I did try that @samaaron , I've run into the same problems that @martinffx has.

[samaaron]

How odd! It works perfectly for me.

Can you ping www.dr-qubit.org?

[martinffx]

Yes! I can even browse his site, although it is quite slow, but that might just be the poor quality of my internet connection at present.
