Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/49

As of this afternoon, when running the example gcloud auth workflow (https://github.com/actions/gcloud/tree/master/auth#example-workflow-file), with the errors fixed, I get an error about not being able to clone the repo. Maybe a temporary github error?

$ GCLOUD_AUTH=$(base64 ~/gcloud.json) act
WARN[0000] unable to get git revision: open /Users/paulbellamy/temp/act-test/.git/refs/heads/master: no such file or directory
WARN[0000] unable to get git repo: section 'remote "origin"' does not exist
[setup-google-cloud] git clone 'https://github.com/actions/gcloud' # ref=master
[setup-google-cloud] Unable to pull refs/heads/master: empty git-upload-pack given
[setup-google-cloud] Unable to resolve master: reference not found
Error: reference not found

The first 2 errors are because it is not a real repo, just a minimal test-case directory I created.

Attached is a tarball of a failing repo. Any info would be super helpful, thanks! Love the project, btw.

Based on a bit more digging (and running act -v), it seems like the cached clone dir in /var/folders/dn/nkfvgz8n0k51lptgh1m8jfnw0000gn/T/act/actions/gcloud/auth@master/, was corrupt. I removed that folder, re-ran act, and now it worked.

My only hypothesis is that the clone died, errored, or got ctrl-c-ed partway through,
leaving the cloned dir present, but empty.

I've attached a tarball of the corrupt clone dir, in case it's useful.
