From fb32c9172a1f2828d75f5d17d8ceea8ffe692f2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 03:06:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix "git clone" for git:// protocol In ba227857(Reduce the number of connects when fetching), we checked the return value of git_connect() to see if the connection was successful. However, for the git:// protocol, there is no need to have another process, so the return value was NULL. Now, it makes sense to assume the rule that git_connect() will return NULL if it fails (at the moment, it die()s if it fails), so return a dummy child process.
