Should be turned on for the C drive automatically... http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment6http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment6Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:29:40 GMTInstall Mercurial. That is not a flame btw, it's from experience. Git nearly murdered me twice with similar problems. It lacks any form of "engineering", relying on luck instead. SourceSafe was more reliable. http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment5http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment5Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:11:03 GMTLooks like a file system issue http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment4http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment4Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:29:36 GMTThe contents of the .git directory would be more interesting ;-) IIRC, git looks for HEAD existing inside .git, so maybe that's gone for some reason? http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment3http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment3Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:21:09 GMTNo the newer versions of msysgit hide the .git directory like it is on unix. Sorry ayende, no idea what happen. Did you try git fsck? http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment2http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment2Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:17:04 GMTIt's strange. My .git subdirectories aren't hidden. Maybe that's the cause? http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment1http://ayende.com/4417/where-do-git-repositories-go-when-they-die#comment1Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:57:38 GMT
