<p>I am having an issue wtih git that is driving me a bit nuts and
wondering if anyone has any thoughts. I set up a bare git
repository on my Google Drive. I pushed a repository that I
created on my Linux machine to it . I can clone it back to another
folder on my Linux machine but for some reason I can not clone it
to a folder on Windows? The Google Drive folder is set up as a
local drive on both machines and seems to work fine. I can copy
and read files from it. locally. I am using Git Bash on Windows.
The command I am using to try and clone the repository on the
Windows machine in Git Bash is:<br>
</p>
<p>git clone ~/Google\ Drive/git/ProjectFolder.git<i><br>
</i></p>
<p>I get an error message stating that this does not appear to be a
valid repository and to makes sure that I have the correct access
rights. I get the same results using the git GUI in Windows.<br>
</p>
<p>This is the same folder I have no problem cloning on Linux</p>
<p>Also if I go into ProjectFolder.git in Git Bash and do a "git
fetch" command I get the message that it is not a git repository.
If I look at the ProjectFolder.git it looks like a git repository
to me, ie. the file structure is correct. I also tried to copy the
folder to somewhere else , ie. not on Google Drive and it gives
the same result. Again that same repository clones perfectly on
Linux so what gives, any thoughts? <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Jim<br>
