Can't clone shallow from sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git

[drewcovi]

Running into an issue with git 2.21.0

Any workaround recommendations?

When attempting a git clone --depth 1 i can reproduce this same issue...

You can change this line in submodule:

https://github.com/jwinarske/clang_toolchain/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

Starting @ Line 255:
ExternalProject_Add(binutils
GIT_REPOSITORY git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
GIT_TAG ${BINUTILS_TAG}
GIT_SHALLOW ON <- change to OFF

Is this an issue with sourceware?

[jwinarske]

No idea. It works fine on git version 2.17.1.

closing for now, as I'm making more progress running on Ubuntu Bionic.
