You are on a branch yet to be born

I have no idea what is going on and the best I can do is post this error message.

Hi,

Can you try 0.2.1 of the script and let me know if this problem still exists?

Regards, Martin.

I've tried with the latest version, and this problem still happens.

@slikts are you cloning through a proxy? I've had problems with git cloning via a https:// URL through a proxy in the past - try changing line 251 of oab-java6.sh to use a http:// URL and see if that makes a difference.

[slikts]

Yes, I can't clone any https:// URLs due to some proxy or git problem, so that must be the explanation, thanks

I'll add a feature where it will fallback to http if https failed.
