i have a PC where i cannot clone to/push from.
I have a repository there, with some local branches and commits.
I figured i could copy the whole repository folder to a network-capable PC and push from there, but when i move it and i try to open it (with git-extensions) it says "there are unresolved merge conflicts" and shows no branches
calling git log returns
so what's going on there?
does git keep some absolute paths i need to manually edit?
is there any way to make a working export?
(it goes without saying that the "original" repository can be opened just fine, and has no merges going on)
--- answering question ---
"Are you running git log inside of the .git folder?"
I ran it both outside and inside, and also ran it on another "working" repository, just to make sure it was indeed an issue with the "broken" one and not with the command itself
"show us the text output of ls -lAF of the .git folder"

I was unable to reproduce the issue.
Before asking the question i copied more than once, to different PCs, and also tried to access it as a shared folder.
Now all the above work.
I'd certainly like to understand what was preventing the previous copy to work, but i guess we can dismiss it as non-git-related problems.
Thank you for your time
