I learned again that a `git clone` is something else than `gbp-clone
--all` (and I again wonder what might be the sense of *cloning* if I do
not get every branch. It seems git is following some logic which I do
not understand.
Anyway after
gbp-clone --all git+ssh://tille@git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/heasoft-fv.git
git checkout debian
I was able to inspect the debian/ dir. Unfortunately even after commiting
and pushing a slight change the repository on git.debian.org obviosely has
a problem. The machine readable gatherer does something like
wagner:/git/debian-science/packages/heasoft-fv.git$ git show HEAD:debian/changelog
fatal: Invalid object name 'HEAD'.
Any idea what might be wrong with this Git repository because for other
repositories this command just outputs the changelog file.
Kind regards
Andreas.
