[Qt-creator] fatal: Not a git repository when creating a new project

[Harri Pasanen]

Hmm...

I just updated my qt-creator and running from the build tree,

Built on Dec 14 2012 at 11:32:16


Still failing here:

Failed to add '/home/harri/tmp/untitled/main.cpp' to the version control 
system.

12:13 Executing in /home/harri/tmp/untitled: /usr/bin/git add 
--intent-to-add main.cpp

Cannot add 1 file(s) to "/home/harri/tmp/untitled": fatal: Not a git 
repository (or any of the parent directories): .git


I see these in konsole where I started qtcreator:


harri at touho:~/src/qt-creator$ SOFT ASSERT: "QDir(dir).isAbsolute()" in 
file vcsmanager.cpp, line 85
QFileInfo::absolutePath: Constructed with empty filename
SOFT ASSERT: "!dirS.isEmpty() && !checkFile.isEmpty()" in file 
vcsbaseplugin.cpp, line 740
SOFT ASSERT: "QDir(dir).isAbsolute()" in file vcsmanager.cpp, line 125


It seems to fail if the project directory does not exist yet, in my case 
"/home/harri/tmp/untitled"

If I create the directory manually, it warns about project existing, but 
the git init then is correctly done.
