Original Pull Request: https://github.com/git-ai-project/git-ai/pull/477

State: closed
Merged: No

After cloning, AI authorship notes may not sync on subsequent git fetch/git pull operations, causing git stats and git show to return no data. This occurs because git doesn't fetch refs/notes/* by default, and if the initial post-clone fetch fails, notes remain out of sync.

Changes

Post-clone configuration (clone_hooks.rs)

Added configure_notes_fetch() to set fetch refspec +refs/notes/ai:refs/notes/ai after clone
Ensures future fetch/pull operations automatically sync notes
Non-fatal: logs errors but doesn't block clone

URL normalization validation (repo_url.rs)

Added test for username:password@host credential format
Validates credentials are stripped from normalized URLs (Bitbucket Server PAT support)

Integration tests (clone_notes_fetch.rs)

Verifies URL normalization with embedded credentials
Tests notes persistence across remote operations
Validates automatic fetch configuration

Example

After this change, repositories cloned with:

git clone https://user:token@bitbucket.com/project/repo.git

Will have notes automatically fetched on:

git fetch origin  # Notes synced automatically
git pull         # Notes synced automatically

The "clone" notation in the document

git clone https://username:MDM0MjM5NDc2MDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@bitbucketserver.com/scm/projectname/teamsinspace.git

After cloning, entering "git stats" and "show" in the code repository does not retrieve relevant information about AI notes and AI contribution. However, normal git cloning seems to support these commands. I'm not sure if you need to support this
