Hi,

I just ran "guiy pull" and discovered this error:

Initialized empty Git repository in
/gnu/store/…-guix-1.0.1-4.c902458-checkout/.git/
error: Server does not allow request for unadvertised object
c902458863d1d341ffd74970b75e69c2bb848183

Maybe the config of the git-repo needs to be changed?

More context:

I’ve seen that coming from different Git servers.  I’m not sure what it
means, but it seems to be harmless.

It means that the server only allows you to clone branches and tags, not individual
commits which are not on a branch or tag. (more specifically, it only allows you
to fetch what it has told you in the beginning exists)

If that happens, one can just clone the latest branch or tag without depth
restriction (which means it will clone the ENTIRE repository) and then git
checkout the commit you want.  That's a major reason why I put a fallback
in our git-download module.

I don't know what the benefit of the restriction is, though.
