I'm having trouble cloning the wine repository. I attempt to clone it and never get any files. All I ever see is:
$ git clone http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine-git defaulting to local storage area
I've followed the instructions found here:
http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine
I've tried the following commands in an attempt to clone the wine repository:
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine-git git clone http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine-git
I'm using git version 1.0.4.
I've also tried the latest version of the getwinegit.sh shell script with the same results.
I've managed to use git to clone the kernel and git source trees, so git is working on my system. I started the clone of the wine source and let it run over lunch for an hour with no files.
If anyone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or how to debug the problem I'd appreciate the help. I'm a git newbie.
Cheers,
Scott

Make sure to start the clone in an empty directory (ie. no existing .git). The clone might take quite a while, so be patient if it doesn't go as fast as you expect.
I'm using git version 1.0.4.
That's a bit old. How about upgrading to GIT 1.2.5 that was released last night?

I let it run overnight and it seems to have worked. Took quite a while though. I was expecting a download time similar to that of the kernel.

Will do. I installed a .deb I found, and had planned on downloading git and building if from source.
Thanks for the help.
