<ul></ul><p>Hi Toshi,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>But, I can not accept to add wiki link</p>
</blockquote>
<p>so, allthough I've been now using git for like two years, Redmine was the <em>first</em> time I was introduced to the notion of a "bare" repository. I had never needed that feature before nor had any recipe on the internets.</p>
<p>If the user gets it wrong, will your error message point them to the wiki page or give instructions?</p>
<p>How are people, maybe even ones that are new to git, supposed to find out how to set up their repositories?</p>
<p>Try once how hard it is to find the correct wiki help page through Redmine's search. Also check the number of people that get stuck:</p>
<pre><code><a class="external" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22fatal%3A+Not+a+git+repository%22+git+redmine">http://www.google.com/search?q=%22fatal%3A+Not+a+git+repository%22+git+redmine</a></code></pre>
<p>(it took me about 5 hours yesterday, which included debugging the code on a Windows machine)</p>
<p>It'd be nice if the setup was trivial and everybody got it correctly setup without any problems at all in an instant? So what's the way to get to that point?</p> Redmine - Patch #9129: Improve wording of Git repository note at project settinghttps://www.redmine.org/issues/9129?journal_id=318002011-08-26T08:10:13ZToshi MARUYAMA
<ul></ul><p>The bare repository requirement is one of FAQs before 1.1.<br />So, I added <strong>bare</strong> word.<br />Other FAQs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Repository permission</li>
<li>command path</li>
<li>repository path
<ul>
<li>file://gitrepo and file://hgrepo are incorrect.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Other FAQs are subversion xml parsing error and <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-4 priority-default" title="Feature: Improve Bazaar repositories error message in case to use shared repository (New)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/4741">#4741</a>.<br />So I will improve fetching error message.</p>
<p>I think the bare repository requirement description is enough in <a class="changeset" title="regenerate i18n text "text_git_repository_note" (#9129)." href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/6640">r6640</a>.</p> Redmine - Patch #9129: Improve wording of Git repository note at project settinghttps://www.redmine.org/issues/9129?journal_id=716402016-06-19T11:57:58ZToshi MARUYAMA
