[U-Boot-Users] Git clone problems?

Wolfgang,
Any chance you have some insight into a problem I might be having trying to "git clone" the u-boot tree here? Am I doing something wrong?
% git clone http://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git u-boot-ours defaulting to local storage area got c7428d49ace4f2f16174ca028fe7072c02a473c8 walk c7428d49ace4f2f16174ca028fe7072c02a473c8 got 97c8d0bbbd923b85c8d31be6ade673cd0833dda1 got 5d89b59a9ebdfb1f03d369c844cf83d480a5a51e ... ... walk a807645ee6a36218b18e52d2039984f27288a14d walk ed579b4210cc5341d511e090239ca697e91ad728 error: Could not interpret tags/DENX-2005-10-29-23:50 as something to pull
This happens with 0.99.9n and 1.0.6.
Thanks, jdl

This seems to be a faq. You need to use rsync, i.e. git clone rsync://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git u-boot-ours
I believe that git does not like fetching via http the ":" in the referenced tag. (Although it was evidently happy enough to create the tag ;>).

No. A long time ago I was stupid enough to use a colon in a tag name, and it seems I cannot get rid of it any more. Can please everybody remove any .git/refs/tags/DENX-2005-10-29-23:50 file from their git repositories? Just 'rm' it.
Jon, I cleaned it up once again here locally and on the server; please try again.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
