git fame does not work on any git repository

[kannanbalu]

Hi,
This issue is a blocker for me. I am trying to run git fame on windows 10 and below are the outputs:

$ git fame --version
git-fame 2.5.2 (c) 2012-2018 Linus Oleander

$ git --version
git version 2.14.1.windows.1

$ git fame .
Error: Branch 'master' does not exist.
Try --help for help.

$ git fame --branch=development
Error: Branch 'development' does not exist.
Try --help for help.

$ git branch

• development
  master

I tried to execute the above commands from .git folder and still encounter the same error messages.

I have also tried to give --repository= and have the same issue.

I encounter the same issue with git-fame command as well.

Kindly assist as I am required to generate reports based on commits and am blocked by the above issue.

Thanks,

• Kannan

I second this, same OS. Always getting fatal: not a git repository.

C:\repos\my-repo>git fame Error: Could not run 'git --git-dir='C:/repos/my-repo/.git' --work-tree='C:/repos/my-repo' ls-tree -r HEAD --name-only' => fatal: not a git repository: ''C:/repos/my-repo/.git''. Try --help for help.

When I run git ls-tree -r HEAD --name-only on my own, I get a list of all tracked files, so it's not Git that fails.
And yes, C:/repos/my-repo and C:/repos/my-repo/.git exist. It is a valid repository. I guess I am getting some concealed error here..
