So if I use your example and run git clone https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda.git I get the following: (vgeppetto3 pts12) $ git clone https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda.git Cloning into 'amanda'... remote: Counting objects: 90, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (81/81), done. remote: Total 90 (delta 24), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (90/90), done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. Can you please tell me what I am missing? If I try to run the get-sources script that also fails. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org
