after cloning, git can't read index about js-git

[creationix]

I wonder if your git version is too old for the index format I'm writing. Are you able to upgrade and try with a newer git?

fatal: Unknown index entry format 28dc0000

Because I also have some git prompt addition the error messages come after each command.

$ git --version
git version 1.7.10.4

I installed js-git-node from npm. I cloned

it's the git version in the apt repositories for ubuntu 12.10. so I suppose
the same version is used for 12.04 (LTE) I can try and get some newer git
and tell you how that goes.

Sorry I read the version wrong. That's not very old.

Its very strange that you saw that error, as so far I've only come across it while working on the index (aka dircache) implementation in git-html5 and as far as I know js-git has no implementation for writing the index file in the same binary format the cgit (original git) uses.

[creationix]

A past version of js-git had this for the clone. I wrote a barebones index so that git status wouldn't complain about stuff breaking.

oh hey @creationix I didn't realise that! Well that will be handy to refer to as I'm in the middle of getting my writing working. But in relation to this, in my tests atm as far as I can tell I'm seeing this due to a bad value in the 16-bit flags field, the one just before the pathname field in a ver2 index file.

@maks, here is my old code that was writing the index. 2baa4f9
