error while creating repository on SMB networ share #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. navigate to a network share (ex: \\myServer\MyDocs
2. create a directory
3. select "Git create repository here"
4. error message: "Subversion reported an error while creating a
repository! Make sure the folder is empty and not write protected"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

a .git directory is still created, but no commit are possible.

If I create a drive on the same network directory, it is OK

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
TortoiseGit 0.5.1.0 32bit 
Windows XP SP2

Please provide any additional information below.

Does command line (git init-db) support it?

this command is not known on my installation (I am pretty new to git). As long 
as it
works with a network disk, maybe it doesn't have to be marked as an issue..

i get the same error message: "Subversion reported an error while creating a
repository! Make sure the folder is empty and not write protected"

i use TortoiseGit-0.7.2.0-32bit.msi and msysGit-fullinstall-1.6.3.2-
preview20090607.exe

after read tortoisegit homepage again, i find that tortoisegit need git 1.6.1.

i then download and install Git-1.6.1-preview20081227.exe， everything is Ok.

maybe helpful for you ;)

It seems msysgit problem. Anyway, I will change error message.

The following FAQ entry may be of interest:
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#WhatcanIusetosetupapublicrepository.3F

The important bit:
# It seems not everyone thinks that SMBFS is a good idea; several people on 
#git hold
the opinion that SMBFS should not be used with git.

So perhaps this bug is a manifestation of some of these problems?  I used to 
use SMB
to connect my Unix boxes, but once I started using Git, things didn't work very 
well
so I switched to NFS (local network, so the downsides of NFS are negligible), 
and
couldn't have been happier about it.  NFS can't solve this issue (since we're on
Windows here), but hopefully my comments are at least somewhat informative!

Looks like there may be a patch made.
