ipfs refs doesn't work with sharded directories

[lidel]

Version information:

0.4.22

Description:

ipfs refs does not work with HAMT-sharded unixfs directories:

$ ipfs refs -r /ipfs/QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX/wiki/Mars.html
Error: no link named "wiki" under QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX

Note: the same path works fine with ipfs resolve:

$ ipfs resolve -r /ipfs/QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX/wiki/
/ipfs/QmRNXpMRzsTHdRrKvwmWisgaojGKLPqHxzQfrXdfNkettC

$ ipfs resolve -r /ipfs/QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX/wiki/Mars.html
/ipfs/bafkreig6ltd5dojmrhlsweuiaxt3ag2p5644wwcyjmqt6gajmbrbylke4m

Hasn't been fixed, apparently (at least on ipfs.io gateway).

The same error don't occur when git cloning the same local folder.

This issue is about the ipfs refs command. Your issue is due to the fact that there is no "refs" folder inside of the "info" folder. The "refs" folder you're seeing there is in the root directory, the "info" directory only contains an "exclude" file.

@Stebalien

Your issue is due to the fact that there is no "refs" folder inside of the "info" folder.

Then, why it worked locally?

@DaniellMesquita your issue is that you didn't run the git update-server-info inside the bare repo. Do that and then add the repo to the ipfs. you will be able to clone it now.
