pip wheel -e git+https:// does a git export instead of git clone #9273
Description
Environment
- pip version: 20.3
- Python version: 3.8 (probably irrelevant)
- OS: linux (probably irrelevant)
Description
pip wheel --no-deps -e git+https://github.com/pypa/pip-test-package#egg=pip-test-package used to keep a git clone in the src directory. Now it keeps something there, that does not have a .git directory in it.
Analysis
In progress, but a quick git bissect shows that the issue originates in the same area as #9122.
