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: git clone ~/Google\ Drive/git/ProjectFolder.git/ / 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. This is the same folder I have no problem cloning on Linux 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? Thanks, Jim
