[Info-vax] VGIT for VMS x86-64 - failed to make .git directory

Tue May 9 10:48:47 EDT 2023

vgit clone <repo>
from public repositories seems to fail for me with the following error error about failing to make the .git subdirectory. An example:

$ vgit clone https://github.com/vmssoftware/python_3_8_2.git
Cloning into 'python_3_8_2'...
Bad news:
 failed to make directory 'python_3_8_2/.git': bad file version number [2]

Has anyone been able to get past that error?
