Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2016-06-01 17:45:54 UTC 
Repoman doesn't recognise a git repository with a separate git dir, for example, cloned like this:

$ git clone --separate-git-dir gentoo.git git+ssh://git@git.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git gentoo

When trying to do a commit, I get the following messages:

   $ repoman commit
   [WARNING] No VCS type detected, unable to sign the commit

   RepoMan does a once-over of the neighborhood...

   Note: use --include-dev (-d) to check dependencies for 'dev' profiles

   RepoMan sez: "So, you want to play it safe. Good call."

   RepoMan sez: "Doing nothing is not always good for QA."

   (Didn't find any changed files...)

Note that in such a configuration, .git is not a directory but a regular file (containing a single line "gitdir: /path/to/gitdir.git").
