I work on a Maven build that uses the git-commit-id plugin. I haven't run this build locally for a while. I recently had to tweak my user.name value in in my $HOME/.gitconfig to reflect corp standards. Today, when I tried to run that build, I saw an error like this:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin:2.2.3:revision (get-the-git-infos) on project ...: Could not complete Mojo execution...: Could not initialize repository... User config file ...\.gitconfig invalid org.eclipse.jgit.errors.ConfigInvalidException: Cannot read file ...\.gitconfig: Invalid line in config file -> [Help 1]

Here's the approximate contents of my entire $HOME/.gitconfig file:

[user]
	name = Karr, David (...)
	email = ...@...

I believe the former value of the "name" property was "David M. Karr". What might be happening here?

I think I figured this out. jgit was trying to read a file referenced by a Cygwin symlink, which unfortunately will not work.

-> I think I figured this out. jgit was trying to read a file referenced by a Cygwin symlink, which unfortunately will not work.

I am facing the same issue.

I sync repositories using google repo tool on Windows 10 and use repo and git over cygwin.

But then the synced repositories are read through Jgit on windows system, then fails with

java.io.IOException: Unknown repository format
at org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository.loadRepoConfig(FileRepository.java:249)
at org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository.<init>(FileRepository.java:192)
at org.eclipse.jgit.storage.file.FileRepositoryBuilder.build(FileRepositoryBuilder.java:92)

Caused by: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.ConfigInvalidException: Cannot read file
