Maybe You can tell me Your experience with starting from 'git clone --recursive github.com/coreboot/coreboot', if having a functional local repository for building the binaries or otherwise repeating the issue. (thx)
I issued the following comment: `git clone --recursive "https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot%22%60 and it works fine for me. I get no errors when I issue a `git status` or `git log`. Did you try it on another device?
Correction on previous assumption: 'Retrying several times for several filesystems ( ~~ext4~~ , ntfs, ~~virtual filesystem tmpfs~~ )'
Probably found one reason, since cloning was always to a ntfs partition and local 'coreboot' repository directories were copied to the other filesystems for saving time and bandwidth. With directly cloning to an ext4 partition (now tested with `https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot%60) `git status` and `git log` are returning suitable results.
The weird thing is, the repository from `https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot%60 is functional on ntfs partition with `git status` and `git log`. (Differences from ntfs compared to ext4 might affect the cloned structures? At the moment, this seems being the most probable reason for the git structure/naming(?) related errors for repositories from `https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot on local ntfs filesystems. Maybe `git diff` can offer hints where mentioned git repositories are different? If verified, maybe there's need for something to change or a hint in documentation/tutorials for handling repositories on local (ntfs, btrfs?, xfs?, hfs?, exfat?) filesystems?) (thx)

There seems to be no hint within tutorial documentation for to avoid this missing date and version from/for the repository?
( Thanks for Your time and engagement. )
