Hi I am having a problem with git. I followed a tutorial[1] about managing a website hosted on a remote server with git version control. It explains to use a post-receive script to update a detached working tree. However, when ever I push from the local machine to remote server the script fails with this error: Counting objects: 5, done. Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 319 bytes, done. Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0) refs/heads/master: 863ce61088f2b6e2f8c5ccfa755c894558b83db3 -> 52e033ea3b7ef16c88e865e1dbc3c4f72ca47cc2 fatal: /usr/bin/git-checkout cannot be used without a working tree. error: hooks/post-receive exited with error code 1 To ssh://jpg@sphinx.mythic-beasts.com/home/jpg/website_devel.git 863ce61..52e033e master -> master I have been searching on the internet for hours and tried different things like unsetting the environment variables using env -i, or by explicitly setting the $GIT_WORK_TREE & $GIT_DIR variables in the script but it just will not run. Can anyone who uses git help me to figure out how I can use this post-receive script to update a detached work tree [1] http://http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto Thank you. -- Jamie http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~jpg
