[darcs-devel] [issue235] Git broken in unstable branch

[John Goerzen]

New submission from John Goerzen <jgoerzen at complete.org>:

Hello,

This is on a fresh unstable pull with git-core 1.4.1.1.

This is also on a fresh checkout of the kernel source.

When I'd try to run darcs whatsnew or darcs changes, I'd get:

read(head): No such file or directory

darcs failed:  No file .git/HEAD

However, .git/HEAD does exist and strace confirmed it was working.  On a
theory, I tried:

cat .git/HEAD
ref: refs/heads/master

cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/HEAD

That seems to make darcs happier, but unhappily, it totally breaks
git itself.
