Re: [jgit-dev] How to Check if A Git Clone Has Been Done Already with JG

+1 . I used the only the part that checks if the repo has at least one reference, and it works. Thank you.

Heh, no.

Use RepositoryCache.FileKey.isGitRepository(File, FS) e.g.:

  if (RepositoryCache.FileKey.isGitRepository(new
File("path/to/place", FS.DETECTED)) {
    // Already cloned. Just need to open a repository here.
  } else {
    // Not present or not a Git repository.
  }

This doesn't tell you if there is content *in* the repository, just
that a repository exists at the given location or not. Since clone
starts out by doing an init of a directory to be a repository, a
partial clone that isn't cleaned up might report true from
isGitRepository() but still have no data from the remote peer in it.

For that you want to look for at least one reference that has an ObjectId:

  private static boolean hasAtLeastOneReference(Repository repo) {
    for (Ref ref : repo.getAllRefs().values()) {
      if (ref.getObjectId() == null)
        continue;
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  }
