install_git Fails to install repo from internal gitolite library

[stanekam]

Not certain what the issue is here. install_git worked fine until the move to the git2r library.

My call:

devtools::install_git("gitolite@code.company.internal:analytics/pkg")

The error:

Error in git2r::clone(x$url, bundle, progress = FALSE) :
Error in 'git2r_clone': Unsupported URL protocol

Not certain what the URL protocol issue is. May be an SSH issue?

Hi there, I'm getting a similar issue on ubuntu 14.04 with ssh installed. I had installed devtools without ther ssh2 dev library, but I fixed that and reinstalled git2r and then devtools. git2r now reports as happy with ssh, but I still can't get devtools to run install_git .

@c97sr Are you sure you want to use install_git() and not install_github("c97sr/idd")?

[c97sr]

Yes - that makes sense. Thanks for the quick answer.

@jimhester I need install_git() because of this: "Attempting to install from a source repository that uses submodules raises a warning. Because the zipped sources provided by GitHub do not include submodules, this may lead to unexpected behaviour or compilation failure in source packages. In this case, cloning the repository manually using install_git with args="--recursive" may yield better results."

However install_git() also gives me the error: Error in 'git2r_clone': Unsupported URL protocol
