What is the right invocation to:
- Bundle all the branches in the current repo
Simple:
$ git bundle create repo.bundle --all
Here repo.bundle is the name of bundle file you want to create. Note that --all would not include remote-tracking branches… just like ordinary clone wouldn’t either.
- Start up the new repo on the destination directory, i.e. get the root commit correctly installed
First, clone is just init + fetch (+ administrativia).
Second, you can use bundle file everywhere the repository URL can be used, so you can simply clone from a bundle file:
$ git clone repo.bundle
This would create repo as a git repository.
