From: Ralf Thielow Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:49:02 +0000 (+0200) Subject: clone --branch: refuse to clone if upstream repo is empty X-Git-Tag: v1.8.4.2~25 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/a3552aba55b9ed2860b8eb0581c73fc0e996369d clone --branch: refuse to clone if upstream repo is empty Since 920b691 (clone: refuse to clone if --branch points to bogus ref) we refuse to clone with option "-b" if the specified branch does not exist in the (non-empty) upstream. If the upstream repository is empty, the branch doesn't exist, either. So refuse the clone too.
