The path to the repo is wrong.

git clone https://git.centos.org/git/centos-git-common.git

Too late to boost my brain with more coffee for today. Not as sharp as I would like to be ;) .

Still leaves me with the question why a script to download the source tarballs is needed when just not adding a .gitignore entry for them to the repos would fix the issue. Could someone involved care to explain the rationale behind this or point me to a thread where this has been discussed/explained?

Cheers, Leonard.

Hi,

Read: https://wiki.centos.org/Sources

This doc explains structure of text and non text sources/overall structure of the server.

Phil
