Migrated from GGL-63

Reported by Łukasz Jernaś

When running giggle with git-1.5.1 it reports:
(giggle:7947): WARNING **: Error loading remotes: Error opening directory '/home/users/deejay1/PRACA/IMENDIO/giggle/.git/remotes': No such file or directory and doesn't display remotes added via git remote add foo git://foo/foo.git.git directory attached

Comment by Łukasz Jernaś:
Maybe one could use the output from git-repo-config --list to add the remotes instead of scanning and reading various files? Some example output from running that command:
remote.carlos.url=git://git.imendio.com/carlos/giggle.git
remote.carlos.fetch=+refs/heads/:refs/remotes/carlos/
branch.carlos.remote=git://git.imendio.com/carlos/giggle.git
branch.carlos.merge=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/carlos/

Comment by Guilhèm Bonnefille:
I had a look into "remote branch" handling. I think the most difficult is that feature change from Git1.4 to Git1.5. And this probably need a completly rewrite of this part (I'm not sure the current "model" in giggle can host the new remote branch model in Git).

Comment 2 Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2009-01-04 20:52:02 UTC 
Should be fixed:

commit da33c0608df7130308c3422d425e064345964106

    Use the more recent 'git remote' command for resolving remote branches

But giggle segfaults for me with that example repository. Have to check what's going on.
Comment 3 Guilhèm Bonnefille 2012-04-01 08:27:22 UTC 
Giggle 0.6.1 does not segfault on the given repo.

Bug should be closed.

Thanks for the update Guilhèm. Closing
