Gilt fails to run when installed on:

  • Ubuntu < 23.10
  • Debian < 12
  • Alpine < 3.17
  • RedHat < 8.7

It yields the error message:

ERR error overlaying repositories err="exit status 128"

This is not a Gilt error per se, but an incompatibility with the antediluvian versions of Git that come installed on these old, LTS Linux distros

Steps to reproduce

docker run --rm -it ubuntu:jammy
apt update
apt -y install git
git clone --bare --filter=blob:none --origin gilt https://github.com/docker-library/busybox.git /home/jenkins/.gilt/clone/cache/https---github.com-docker-library-busybox.git

Expected result

Cloning into bare repository '/home/jenkins/.gilt/clone/cache/https---github.com-docker-library-busybox.git'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 2132, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (1058/1058), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (487/487), done.
remote: Total 2132 (delta 458), reused 900 (delta 442), pack-reused 1074
Receiving objects: 100% (2132/2132), 286.35 KiB | 1.86 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (618/618), done.

Actual behavior

fatal: --bare and --origin gilt options are incompatible.

Workaround

  • Install/use Git 2.39 or later. This is the default in Debian 12, Ubuntu 23.10, Alpine 3.17, etc.
  • Use the equivalent/compatible command:
git -c clone.defaultRemoteName=gilt clone --bare --filter=blob:none https://github.com/docker-library/busybox.git /home/jenkins/.gilt/clone/cache/https---github.com-docker-library-busybox.git

Miscellany

Ubuntu 20.04 is supported until 2025, and 22.04 is supported until 2027, so this isn't the kind of thing that can be easily laughed off.

Apple has shipped comparatively-modern versions of Git for a long while now, making this issue difficult to spot in a development environment.

This issue very likely disappears completely of go-git ever ships a version that makes Issue #72 plausible.

Truly ancient versions of Git (git version 2.25.1, shipped with Ubuntu Focal) do not have support for even the clone.defaultRemote config option; a truly long-form method will need to be devised.
