Repository navigation
Clone from URL (Repo is empty), but the property bare return false. #1084
Description
Example, I just clone from URL : https://github.com/apache/incubator-argus.
It is an empty repo. But when I call git.Repo.clone_from, the property bare return False.
Maybe it is a BUG.

I believe the issue here may be a misunderstanding of what a bare repository is, as any repository can be a bare clone if it was cloned with
bare=trueor--barerespectively.The
bareflag has nothing to do with the repository being empty.dota17 commentedon Nov 16, 2020
How we can use gitpython to check an empty repo?

You could indeed clone a bare repository and then have a look at the tree at the branch of interest - it represents the top-level directory.
