Part 3: Why Does Cloning Process Take So Long? Cloning your disk requires not only the right software but also that all your hardware and your operating system are in good condition; otherwise, this procedure will take longer than it should.
If you have a problem cloning a repository, or using it once it has been created, check the following: Ensure that the user has gone through initial GitCentric login and has the correct username, email, and ssh. This should return a usage message that refers to the config-branch, config-repo, and ls-repo commands.
Cloning is a read-only operation, the original repository isn't modified. There is no way you can pull statistics for data that simply isn't tracked.
You might discover that the source files were there before, but were removed in a subsequent commit. If so, just git checkout to an older commit. Also possible that there's simply no files in the master branch ( git log --all will show other branches). See git branch for list and git checkout another branch.
Looks like no one was able to help with this issue. I found that getting stuck on "checking source" generally means an issue with your Git client. This can boil down to a few things.
SourceTree doesn't make it very easy to observe when issues arise like this, just the ominous "checking source" that I was plagued with as well. If you haven't already figured it out or nuked it from orbit, hopefully this helps!
