“git init” failed, what's wrong?

Question

This issue is not same as \"Bad git config file .git/config\", since it failed when using git init.

It seems there is nothing wrong with /home/mirror/.gitco

Answer 1

Simple was added in git v1.7.11. If your git version is older, this option doesn't exist. Simply remove it from your conf and you'll be able to init repos.
