Can you tell me which version of git do you have (git --version).

from cms-git-tools.

git version 1.7.4.1

from cms-git-tools.

Assuming you are in CMSSW_7_0_X, can you you set up the environment (via
cmsenv) set your reference and try again?

from cms-git-tools.

no, I am in CMSSW_5_3_11_patch6, following the recipe in
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/SWGuidePATReleaseNotes52X#GIT_transition

from cms-git-tools.

cmsrel CMSSW_5_3_11_patch6
cd CMSSW_5_3_11_patch6/src/
cmsenv
export CMSSW_GIT_REFERENCE=/opt/sbg/data/safe1/cms/ccollard/testGit/reference_repository
git cms-addpkg PhysicsTools/PatAlgos

Can you try:

 export CMSSW_GIT_REFERENCE=/tmp/git_reference

from cms-git-tools.

Thanks, it works! It just takes 37 minutes to download everything. As it is in a temporary directory, I am afraid I will need to do that regularly. Is it possible to define another location (more stable in time)?

Ciao,

sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation.

I do not know about the setup of your cluster, so it's hard to tell. You should
probably ask to your sys admin if there is any local work directory available
which does not get cleaned up (usually that's the case on most clusters).

37 minutes does sound like a lot though. It should do everything in 5 minutes
or so. You might want to check again with your sys admin if there is any issue
with the network connection.

Ciao,

Giulio
