git-remote-https broken

10.5k views Asked by At

After noticing that my Git distribution would no longer perform basic tasks, such as cloning, I came to the conclusion that my git-remote-https is broken:

jason@jasonfil-laptop:~/temp/Vision[]$ GIT_TRACE=2 git fetch
10:44:44.305725 git.c:349               trace: built-in: git 'fetch'
10:44:44.369539 run-command.c:341       trace: run_command: 'git-remote-https' 'origin' 'https://github.com/JasonFil/Vision'
jason@jasonfil-laptop:~/temp/Vision[]$ $(git --exec-path)/git-remote-https
Segmentation fault

git --exec-path evaluates to:

jason@jasonfil-laptop:~/temp/Vision[]$ git --exec-path
/usr/lib/git-core

Therefore:

jason@jasonfil-laptop:~/temp/Vision[]$ /usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https
Segmentation fault

Any ideas on how to solve the problem? Here are some system specs (I'm running Debian Testing):

jason@jasonfil-laptop:~/OneDrive/code/datasets/Dataset_Cyber$ cd
jason@jasonfil-laptop:~$ git --version
git version 2.1.4
jason@jasonfil-laptop:~$ cat /etc/debian_version 
stretch/sid
jason@jasonfil-laptop:~$ uname -r
3.16.0-4-686-pae

Edit to answer Matthieu's comment on an incompatible version of a library:

I'm not sure where I should focus first. Any ideas?

git clone internally does a git init and a git fetch. You may get more information by doing these steps manually, like:

git init Vision
cd Vision/
git remote add origin https://github.com/JasonFil/Vision
git fetch
git checkout master

Another thing to try is:

GIT_TRACE=2 git clone --verbose https://github.com/JasonFil/Vision

This should be far more verbose that --verbose alone.
