Git clone from local folder broken?

[fliiiix]

Im not able to clone a local git repo to an other folder:

PS C:\> $env:GIT_TRACE=1
PS C:\> git clone -v C:\template\ foo
21:03:17.531368 exec-cmd.c:266          trace: resolved executable dir: C:/mingit/mingw64/bin

Cloning into 'foo'...
21:03:17.547014 run-command.c:668       trace: run_command: unset GIT_DIR; GIT_PROTOCOL=version=2 'git-upload-pack '\''C:\template\/.git'\'''

-c: applet not found
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Here is how i installed it

echo $PSVersionTable
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $('https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.48.1.windows.1/MinGit-2.48.1-busybox-64-bit.zip' -f $env:GIT_VERSION, $env:GIT_PATCH_VERSION) -OutFile 'mingit.zip' -UseBasicParsing
Expand-Archive mingit.zip -DestinationPath c:\mingit
Remove-Item mingit.zip -Force
$env:Path += ";c:\mingit\cmd"

Seems similar to #5121

cloning a remote repo seems to work fine

This is MinGit-busybox, isn't it? Can you use regular MinGit instead?

[fliiiix]

I realized that as well and i will try the regular MinGit and update the issue here when i have results 👍

It is in fact a busybox only issue, works fine with the regular version
