some git commands won't run: This operation must be run in a work tree #238

Closed zhangsen closed 12 years ago

zhangsen commented 12 years ago

I'm using git to manage a hg repo. After setting it up with hg gexport, I find there are some commands that won't run.

$ git status
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

$ git blame ./conary/build/recipe.py
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

Is this expected behavior?

I'm using hg_git-0.3.1 and git 1.7.7.

This is expected behavior. Look for information on "bare repositories" for git.

I'm not sure what you mean by "using git to manage an hg repo". I really only provide support for using hg to work on git projects here.

Hi Augie... hg-git has the gexport and gimport commands, and the git.intree config. Did I file against a wrong project? Isn't here the hg-git project under schacon? Sorry a bit confused.

Yeah, but I don't have any experience using hg-git "backwards," so I'm unable to help your use case in the slightest. If you try the hg-git Google Group you may have more luck, I don't know how many people watch this issue tracker (heck, I don't always watch it and I'm the maintainer!).

Ok... I read on the web (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/883452/git-interoperability-with-a-mercurial-repository) that hg-git can work as a two-way gate. Apparently there are some bugs.

Anyway, let's just keep this issue closed. I'll have another look around.

That's a couple of years old, and it wouldn't surprise me to learn that there have been regressions in that area, as I don't even attempt to maintain that side of things (as I never understood its utility).
