Contrastingly, git-core-1.5.5.5-alt1 from 4.1 adheres to the documentation. Cloning into an existing empty directory is allowed since v1.6.2 (commit 55892d23981917aefdb387ad7d0429f90cbd446a), this change was documented in v1.6.3.1 (commit ec00d6e0038e030cf73182374e21025c2776cb23). Let's say it's fixed. |
