okay, the following sequence of commands appears to work:
git init
"git init" is not needed. I am not sure if it can cause problems.
git clone https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git cd inkscape git pull https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git
Just run "git pull". No need to specify the remote side.
with this sequence, the following command works: C:\Users\penne_000\AppData\Roaming\InkscapeGit\inkscape>git describe --tags INKSCAPE_0_92_PRE1-1666-gd010732
I have not yet been able to confirm the pull command because nobody has yet committed anything since my clone, currently I get: C:\Users\penne_000\AppData\Roaming\InkscapeGit\inkscape>git pull https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git From https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape
- branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up-to-date.
I will try to confirm the pull command tomorrow, with fresh data. I wonder if someone could confirm this, or update the Inkscape documentation to include the necessary 'cd inkscape' command, because this command seems to be essential in order to make sure that the pull data goes into the correct location.
If you just used "git pull" as is written in the Wiki page then it would have complained instead of fetching another copy as it seemed to do.
So, in the end you need:
git clone https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git
which gives you a directory "inkscape". Everything else from now on will happen inside that directory, including the regular
git pull
