That seems to be a very strange error. My guess is that the git clone failed initially. Can you try rm -rfv /opt/docker-registry and try again?

[joshuaconner]

That basically had the same result. Gist: https://gist.github.com/joshuaconner/de7df84c59e9de47732a

There was a similar-looking Chef issue here related to the shallow_clone attribute being set to true. I tried setting it to false with the following in my role, but it didn't work:

override_attributes 'application' => {
  'shallow_clone' => false
}

I'm pretty new to Chef though, so I may have just been doing it wrong. Any ideas?

I ran into the same issue. I modified the application statement in default.rb to include "shallow_clone false" statement, and that fixed the issue.

@maf23 would you mind trying the 2014-updates branch. If it's good I'll merge it in.

[maf23]

Sure, I had do do a couple of other changes as well. I'll clean them up and
submit a pull request.
