Those are exactly all git repositories in the thornlist. Can you check
what git version is used? Can you run with --verbose, please?

Unfortunately I still cannot reproduce this, so cannot test this
myself (Erik can though :-) ). However, looking at the pasted in
output "Do you want to update all existing components? yes, no [no] :
no" it seems as if you are not actually doing a fresh checkout but
instead an update since GetComponents sees some thorns already being
present. So: are you trying to update from an old release or trunk to
Gauss?

Your output has errors stating that it could not switch to a tag (and
since it says "switch to tag ." the tag variable is actually empty).
Eventually the tag is generated from information in REPO_BRANCH and
output from "git tag -l" so it would be good to check what happens
around line 1390 of GetComponents.


Unrelated: trying to download GetComponents using curl as on the
download page "curl -O
https://raw.github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/master/GetComponents" I get
"curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK."
and have to add the "-k" option.

Further unrelated: the code in GetComponents (line 1390ff) constructs
a list of branches out of REPO_BRANCH by splitting it at ", ". Does
that mean that REPO_BRANCH could list several branches separated by ",
" (but not eg just a comma "," or ",  ")? I am not sure I understand
that reason for having multiple branches listed there. The code also
uses the basic "`" backtics of perl and not GetComponents' run_command
routine so circumvents logging and verbosity options.

Yours,
Roland
