Git clone produces a non-wildcard fetch refspec since 2019-12 [message #1821117]

Hi everybody,

whenever I clone a Git repo from within the 2019-12 Eclipse via "File > Import... > Projects from Git" I get an individual fetch entry in origin's remote section of the local config for each branch.

This is an extract for a remote repo that only has a master branch:

Eclipse 2019-12

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

Eclipse 2019-09

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

I haven't found anything in the Egit/Jgit Changelog, nor in the forums, so is this really desired behaviour?

Might it have to do with the switch to the FileReftableDatabase of JGit as announced here?: https://wiki.eclipse.org/JGit/New_and_Noteworthy/5.6

Btw, this is a repost of my post in the Eclipse Platform Forum. I didn't find a way to move the thread. Hope, this is ok.

Best regards
Rice

At least the basic jgit cli does not show this behaviour. It must be something in
combination with EGit. Any ideas, somebody?

I think this is fixed by https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/157084/ .

Hey Christian,

that looks very much like it, thank you!

Do you know how to find out the releas date or version with Eclipse?

Currently it's not in any build. But a build was triggered and it should be in a nightly build soon. Check this site https://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-nightly/ for updates of the org.eclipse.egit packages from today. When you see a new build you can update your egit with instructions on that site.

Ciao
Chris
