Stuck on an issue?

Is this the correct path format? It claims the repo is empty

See original GitHub issue

I have in my dropbox folder repos/test2 directory, which is a git repo with a committed file. But then I do this:

git clone "dropbox://repos/test2"
Cloning into 'test2'...
info: repository is empty
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

It claims it is empty, and git status in my new cloned dir says it is an initial commit.

Why is this?

Yeah, it does seem like a bunch of people use it (I wish I had exact statistics, though).

I do believe it is stable enough. I personally use it for a bunch of my own projects.

Also, the way git-remote-dropbox is designed, it’s really easy to reconstruct a git repo given just the folder from Dropbox (see here). So this should give you additional peace of mind.

Yeah, that should work for you.
