Description

Description

I have built gitu from source tree. But I cant open any newly cloned repo, even with this gitu repo.

$ gitu
Error: OpenRepo(Error { code: -1, klass: 6, message: "unsupported extension name extensions.refstorage" })

System information

  • I'm using Windows 11 Build 10.0.26200.5761 (25H2).
  • Toolchain information:
$ rustup --version
rustup 1.28.2 (e4f3ad6f8 2025-04-28)
info: This is the version for the rustup toolchain manager, not the rustc compiler.
info: The currently active `rustc` version is `rustc 1.89.0 (29483883e 2025-08-04)`

$ cargo --version
cargo 1.89.0 (c24e10642 2025-06-23)

Research direction

Start at the gitu startup path that opens a repository and investigate the OpenRepo error on Windows 11 with a newly cloned repository. Reproduce the reported extensions.refstorage failure, then verify that gitu can open both the cloned repository and the gitu repository without the error.
